Hi people, I usually use the space in Comments & Notes to make notes on difficult moves. I usually ask a question if I don’t understand (even if I used the engine) why an obvious move was not played, or what is the idea behind a move.
My main concern when learning a repertoire is to avoid mixing lines. Sometimes you have a position which is very similar to another position, triggering a wrong answer. In these cases I try to identify such similar positions, give a link to it, and provide information to make it easy to keep these lines apart.
I don’t keep these notes private, as I think other students could also use the information.
However, I don’t see notes by other students. I saw people writing something in the books on tactics, but very few in the repertoires.
Why is this like this? Are you making notes on the positions and keeping them privat? Or do you think that you will master the difficult moves with the time, and so there is no need for notes / comparisons?
For the time being, I go with the following solution: I activate learning all moves but I do not actively click on "Learn next" and only wait for something to review instead. In this way, I do at least not make things worse since by reviewing a move I would be forced to overstudy the other ones anyway. Also it might be helpful to see the complete line exactly in those cases where I have/had problems with one (or more) move(s).
