Playing Check List
Difficulty: Beginner
As I was studying playing techniques, I found it worth applying them to my games :) . But while playing, my mind is totally focused on the next move, not on remembering those items I wished to acquire. This is why I had the idea to use a check-list: it is a simple sheet of paper where I wrote the points I have to remember for that particular game. I would advise not to work with more than 5 items in a row, as it quickly interferes with the game itself. I use it in two ways:
I usually use values like '100% done' 'not understood' 'forgot it' and so on. I find it is a good improving technique as it helps to keep track of one's progression following a self-built list of rules to apply. Here is a sample skeleton of items for the list; they are ordered by theme. Reader: feel free to reorder as you wish or to add any new item to the list. Of course I know that the following is very redundant with SL's material: could there be a link to such a 'principles list' as ToBeDiscovered?. Or could we imagine that this list is a kind of summary of the later page ? By the way, I guess that an automatic "check-list generator" would be best. Coming soon ;) General principles
