@mchill saidYeah, that's understandable. I think that in another domain (language learning), writing by hand helps with retention in a way that screens do not.
Also, since you play OTB, I think you have the right idea to do tactics on the board, instead of just looking at a screen.
Thank You. It seems like a pretty old-world technique in our cyberspace age, but for some reason, I tend to remember the lessons longer when I have to pick up the pieces and move them, as opposed to a few mouse clicks.
