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?

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.

In last year’s tournament, the women, all of them young, and whom the organizers called the Snowdrops, edged the Old Hands team of men, 16.5 to 15.5. This year, the women won even more decisively, 18 to 14, despite losing the last round, 3 to 1. The women were led both years by Humpy Koneru of India, who is No. 2 on the list of top women chess players. She was the tournament’s top scorer this year, with ...
