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?

We've seen in the last two chess columns that superior king position does not always guarantee the advantage â contrary to standard pawn endgame chess lore â but here there is no disputing Black's dominance. The only question is, how to break through? RB: Pawn endgames frequently have the potential for dramatic sacrifices. You can have five pawns and give up four of them so one might queen and win the chess game. I don't see that here, however. So I'm going to go the other route: undramatic, quiet moves in an attempt to create zugzwang, force the white king back and invade. So 1âĤe5, when ...
