jennyh Mar 2021 9:44am, 5 Mar 2021 5,664 posts	Quote Pin jennyh I do the replaying the last few moves thing. I did briefly use the notes function, but it made me realise how useless I was at anticipating my opponents moves - and therefore served no purpose as my potential next moves went out the window.

jennyh Mar 2021 12:19pm, 5 Mar 2021 5,675 posts	Quote Pin jennyh Am actually now thinking that I was misguided in thinking I ever had an advantage just because I was up on material. I’ve been trying to look at the lessons and practice games, but still convinced I’m just too stupid to ever understand the game properly.

jennyh Mar 2021 5:03pm, 5 Mar 2021 5,678 posts	Quote Pin jennyh I go into the analysis option, then click into notes from there. This is using the chess.com website on my phone, I’ve never tried the notes function on the app.
