Often I forget to re-publish the new pgn with the annotations, and I’m usually just tossing the games online right away so I can access them from elsewhere and show them to a couple of friends of mine and get some ideas.

Do you run your games through a computer engine? I realize that it takes a lot of time, but if you can annotate your own games, you will improve by leaps and bounds. :) And congrats on being married too.

I haven't noticed (since I've been busy getting pummelled in the Open section), but are you going over your games in the skittles room afterwards? Very often stronger players will offer advice, or be willing to look at positions in your games. Also, watching masters analyse (even if it's in Russian! :) ) is very enlightning.<br/><br/>Good luck!<br/><br/>-Matt Phelps<br/> MCC TD Welcome to MetroWest Steve!
