Perhaps it would be good to enlist the help of another. I eman chess notation is already shorthand so if writting it yourself is taking a long time then your options seem to be limited to getting faster or getting help.
Maybe you could also use a camera to just film the game?
Filming the game was going to be my recomendation, or at least the last part of the game.
Anyone have any experience with filming your own games? I've never seen anyone do this in a tournament game.
Memorise the finish in the game.

It is not that it takes a long time, but when you are down to the last five minutes, you do not have to keep notation. I generally do until I am much lower on time. But, when it is under a minute to go, and you are in serious time pressure, there is no time for keeping notation.
You can normally have at least a feel for how the game went. If you don't then you need to think more in the game.

Easier said than done when you are in a double rook ending against a Master with 20 seconds to go. I'm 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in my last 6 games against Experts and 1 draw and 1 loss in my last two against Masters, so I imagine I'm thinking at least a little in my games. You're from Cleveland, you should come down for the Solon games each month.
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that the time was *that* low.
I came to the Mustard Seed Monster. Maybe I'll go to the Parma tournament on August 9 and I think I am going to the Cleveland Open.
Why did you call it 'Keep Score' when you actually meant keep track of your moves?
Because the act of the moves being written down is know as keep score.
Okay, I'm open for some suggestions. In OTB tournament game, I get to under five minutes and stop keeping score... in many cases I get to the final few seconds.
So I get home and often cannot recreate the games yet I want to study them. Any suggestions on keeping score when time is low?
