Message: I really like the feature that you can annotate your games DURING play..but I wanted to get an opinion if people think its better to annotate after the game instead...perhaps your head is a bit clearer and you can see more of what your opponent was up rather than what your next best move might be? (I know, I know, I should be doing BOTH those things during the game!) The possible downside is that annotating after the game, you might think "Why did I make that move?"...thoughts?

Once a player joins the USCF and begins playing tournaments, he will receive a rating that indicates his strength based on the ratings of his opponents and his results. Our beginner tournaments, however, require no USCF membership and are designed to encourage chess players to ...
