Hi there in this section.
I want to show you a real world scoresheet.
This is from my good friend, A.F. Lantis.
It's pretty legible, much more legible than most of the mine.
You should keep them as legible as possible so we can read this.
And in fact, you can even sometimes you get Barracas, you can sometimes see more and more of a chess
game in your head, your own virtual ball in your head.
You don't even need to board.
Bobby Fischer, it's fought.
So, you know, he trained himself quite young to be able to do this in his head because he couldn't
be that far apart from a chess.
You know, he needs a chess in his brain.
He was so addicted.
And it's a great way of improving your visualization skills as well.
So see 496 G4 three Jeoffrey and then we see C6.
So the first two moves D4 namesakes.
This is an algebraic notation.
I put those on on the board has CIFOR might have sex.
We can see that we record in algebraic notation and then we see the move.
Jeoffrey, this means --'s jeoffrey so I'll put that on board as well.
But now we're going to obscure the book because I want to talk about the scoresheet a little bit more
so we can see, like I'll move nine.
It's actually if we play that we see more evidence is if because of detailed details, a then it takes
a four and the no transaction Nikifor.
So something's happened around that to do of A4 being played.
So even in your casual games, it's good to record the game and learn from your losses.
The great Capablanca, one of the world champions, said you learn more from your losses than any of
your wins.
And it's true, especially for me.
The more painful losses, the more I've invested time, energy.
And if I lose, you know, I try and do searching for the truth of sometimes bigger lessons, bigger
philosophies that helps you become a better player.
And sometimes you learn a bit of opening theory.
Sometimes you learn some Angang track.
Sometimes you sharpen your tactics, you do you do the training needed.
So taking a scientific approach to the game, the start point of that is actually recording your games
now online.
They're recorded for you.
That's so, so convenient when you play online.
That's one of the great convincing series of games and you can go over them even if maybe you do some
want to take it more seriously.
You eventually get a coach or you just take some amazing courses.
You don't even need a coach.
So anyway.
So, yeah, in the real world, though, yeah.
You'd have this thing called a scoresheet and each move is those two half moves all play.
And according to the official Phedre rules, if you play the most serious Tómas, which are Phaedo approved
Holman's where your feeder rating is at stake, not just your local federation rating, then you should
be recording your moves as clearly as neatly as possible.
And both score sheets are usually given after the game with the results.
But both of them signs actually you'd sign your opponent scoresheet, they'd sign yours.
And they're both given to the tournament controllers and they do the pairings for the next round based
on the results, etc..
So the scoresheet plays a very important role, not just for the mechanics of pairing in the real world,
but also for your own learning.
And I recommend to you.
Yeah, to take a scientific approach.
If you do lose he Blanca's advice, you need to translate chess not just as a sporting event.
Oh, I lost.
I'm going to answer.
I'm going.
No, don't be like me.
I actually gave up chess for a couple of years when I was small.
When I played my first tournament, I was crying.
I gave up for a couple of years.
I took up programming.
It was quite good because I like programming today anyway.
So there's an upside to everything anyway in life.
But in general, you know, I came back to chess and I later won a national under 18 in 1999.
I was one of the greatest players on the East on the BSF, as it was called then British Chess Federation
ranking system.
I beat that free one nineties.
I became Loyd's national unrattled champion in 1999.
But anyway.
But when I was much smaller, I played in this tournament and it was more about the sport, about the
heartache.
You don't want it to be like that.
You want to turn again into a kind of scientific experiment.
That you lose, OK, you're gutted.
I accept that you got everyone, especially me, but if you got scoresheet and even in your casual games,
first of all, you can train your visualisations and even try and read the scoresheet without even a
chessboard.
That helps your visualization, which will improve your test results.
Some grandmasters, you know, were reading games just from from books which hardly had any diagrams,
but they're sort of training a visualization like Tony mauls notes to just read chess books without
any boards.
You know, it makes it very convenient if you've got a board inside your head.
Magnus Cosies can complete loads of games.
This blindfold simultaneous, by the way, that's the side.
That's when you get really strong.
But in general, you record your games and try and be scientific when you lose.
So it's not just for the bureaucrats, the score sheets.
So we're talking about the rules section.
It's all about the bureaucrats.
No, it's also for your own interest.
For your own improvement in chess.
The score sheets a great vehicle for going home, seeing where you went wrong, maybe putting it in
a computer.
A computer tells you at least your technical mistakes.
Maybe you get some coaching later.
You look at my amazing courses and you find out fundamentals that I'm going to tell you.
We're not computers.
We want to make the positions as easy as possible for us to play.
So, in fact, your mistake wasn't actually not playing this super accurate move.
Your mistake was having that position in the first place where you had to play a super accurate move.
You should have positions which are easy to play, ideally.
See Art of War.
I reference Art Werlau.
You want to make winning as easy as possible or not some sort of thing where you need to.
Perfect move.
But no, but anyway, so the main core of this particular lecture was about the legality and a real
well, Toubon, you'll be recording in a scoresheet in a thing called algebraic notation.
That's the standard for chess algebraic notation.
And we'll be going over that.
In the coming elections, OK?
I remember being legible as possible when you write in school, she just do a favorite organizations
yourself if you want to read what happens, like, you know, later.
OK, and so much.
