Do you archive a game as soon as it's done, or let it sit out a bit for some reason?

I'll glance over it a time or two, but I never let them sit for more than a day.

I do mine pretty much straight away but i think really it would be a better idea to look over them to see where mistakes are made. I'll sometimes leave it a day if it was a really good win and relish it. Yes i am sad aren't !?

you can always visit your archived games and examin them while waiting for others to make their moves.. kills time and educational. boring but if you click forward and backwords randomly, you can make the pieces dance the fandango.. hours of amusement.. 😛

Sits out a day or so... or a week.... depends on the game. My lost games tend to dangle more.

well. Me too. I feel like a genious sometimes here with many minutes to think of my moves. I think it is making real chess worse tho as I am depending on Analize Board and lots of time.
