Plus the games are not so famous.<BR/><BR/>To Jonathan B:<BR/>I think your comment is an argument in *favor* of this exercise. Practice makes perfect. You could still set yourself a maximum of 10 minutes over-the-board for any one move, if you want. (I wouldn't.) But having practiced like this before-hand, you would see more, with fewer mistakes, and with less fatigue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37675897.post-74701175117909029132008-12-15T14:51:00.000+00:002008-12-15T14:51:00.000+00:00Personally I think 30 minutes would be way too lon...Personally I think 30 minutes would be way too long to analyse without moving the pieces or writing things down.<BR/><BR/>In games I try not to think longer than 10 minutes if at all possible.

Heisman would call this a stoyko exercise, Rowson mentions something similar and as you say so does Kotov.<BR/>Indeed, GM ram is book that is mainly based upon this idea though it includes no annotations to the positions.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09010325314829152229noreply@blogger.com
