Play online chess |  Subject: Annotate during, after, or both?
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?

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:
Ivanchuk, Carlsen Lead at Amber — Rapid chess and blindfold chess require different skills. But excelling at both is a prerequisite for victory at the annual Amber Chess Tournament, the most unusual event of the year. Amber is sponsored by Joop van Oosterom, a Dutch billionaire and world correspondence chess champion, who started the tournament in 1992 and named it after his daughter. With a generous prize fund (this year 216,000 euros, or a little less than $300,000), an invitation to the tournament is coveted by the world’s top chess players. (It does not hurt that the tournament is held in Nice, France, on the Côte d’Azur.) This year’s field is made up of ...
In Europe, a Young Chess Champion Emerges From Deep Ranks — The European Championships showed how much the chess world has changed in the last 20 years. The men’s division was won by Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia, a 19-year-old chess grandmaster. Nepomniachtchi is talented, and he was seeded 35th in a field that included more than 150 grandmasters. But he was just one player among dozens who had a realistic shot at the title. On the scale used to measure ability, Nepomniachtchi has a rating of 2,656 and is ranked No. 78 in the world. Yet in 1990, Yasser Seirawan of the United States — one of the most talented chess players of his generation — was 10th with a rating of 2,635. Now, Seirawan’s rating is 2,651, and he is ...
Ivanchuk Holds Lead at Amber — Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine, is proving to be the most intrepid player at the annual Amber chess tournament. He has yet to lose a game and, heading into the second rest day, he has a one point lead over Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the world’s top-ranked chess player. Boris Gelfand of Israel and Vladimir Kramnik of Russia are tied for third, a half point behind Carlsen. Carlsen took the lead in Round 6 by beating Gelfand 2-0. (The participants play a rapid game and a blindfold game against each of the other competitors.) It was the fourth time in the tournament that Carlsen had won both games in a match. But, in Round 7, Carlsen lost 1.5-0.5 to Vugar Gashimov of Azerbaijan, while ...
