Don't you hate it when you load up a board, and your mind goes blank. You just cannot remember the game. So you start from square one, analyze the position, choose candidate move, calculate variations, decide on a move, move it, click the button. Gone!
Until next time, you load the board, cannot remember the game, and start from scratch again.
The answer is to make copious notes, of course, but I am extremely lazy, and taking notes would seem to make chess a chore/bore.
How have others overcome this problem? I have experimented with various forms of note taking, but have soon abandoned them as too tedious and cumbersome.
Are there any resources on the net, discussing this. I would be interested in a short-hand method that, when loading a board, instantly transports you back into the analysis and variations you have already done.
There has to be some optimum balance between the time taken to make notes, and the time saved by having made notes. I just haven't found that balance yet.
