Message: I really like the feature that you can annotate your games DURING play..but I wanted to get an opinion if people think its better to annotate after the game instead...perhaps your head is a bit clearer and you can see more of what your opponent was up rather than what your next best move might be? (I know, I know, I should be doing BOTH those things during the game!) The possible downside is that annotating after the game, you might think "Why did I make that move?"...thoughts?
Posted by ccmcacollister www6conf.org 10/02/2008 12:09:37 play online chess	Why not both Message: You know more after the game. But might forget something important if you don't note it down at the time. You could do it during then review and add your new notes when you look to see where it could improve. Personally I tend to annotate months later as it takes me a long time to decide if I liked a game, but I probably lose something unless it was during a very serous time and i had reams of subvariations and such.

Chess news: Chess Championship Match Remains Tied After Game 3 Is Drawn -- After two decisive games, Game 3 of the World Chess Championship match in Sofia, Bulgaria, ended peacefully Tuesday with a draw. The match score in the best-of-12 match is now 1.5-1.5. Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, the challenger, had White, as in Game 1, and again opened with 1 d4. Viswanathan Anand of India, the chess champion, who had blundered badly in Game 1 after he used the Grunfeld Defense, switched openings in Game 3, opting for the solid Slav Defense. Topalov tried to steer the game toward complicated and unclear positions, which he likes, by offering a pawn sacrifice at a couple of junctures. But Anand avoided any risks, declining Topalov’s offers and ... Anand Wins Again to Lead World Chess Championship -- Viswanathan Anand, the world chess champion, used a blistering attack to win the fourth game of his title match against Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria on Wednesday. He now leads the best-of-12 match 2.5 points to 1.5. It was the second win by Anand, both times in games where he had White. As in Game 2, he chose the Catalan, an opening long favored by Vladimir Kramnik, the former world chess champion who won a memorable, and acrimonious match against Topalov in 2006. Though it might be amusing to assume that Anand has chosen the opening for psychological reasons (play the opening of Topalov’s greatest nemesis), it is more than likely that Anand selected ... Much at stake in world chess match -- The world chess championship match, which began Saturday in Sofia, Bulgaria, will determine the chess champion for the next two years. There is a hefty prize fund of 2 million euros (about $2.7 million), of which the winner will receive 60%. But even more is at stake. Viswanathan Anand, chess champion since 2007, is already recognized as a great player and the instigator of India's chess boom. However, he stood in the shadow of Garry Kasparov during his prime years and became chess champion only at age 37. A victory would confirm his status as the leader of the post-Kasparov era and would turn speculation to his inevitable clash with a member of a much younger generation ...
