As much as I despise anyone who overprices "nothing-revolutionary" technology I'd actually think the MonRoi might be suitable for really young kids who benefit from taking an accurately notated OTB game to a chess coach after a tournament ... even more so if the MonRoi recorded timestamps (does this do this?) showing how much time was spent to make that move?
Yeah, but then they never learn. I presume that, by the time they're mature enough to play a decent game, they're mature enough to score it accurately.
I have played in five or six chess tournaments and I never even had to take notes on my moves. But I would not mind writing down my moves on paper or recording them on a Personal Digital Assistant. I usually come among the five best players in the k-12 section. But I am actually better in club games, and individual matches than tournament struggles with players from other teams. And yes I use alot of faces.
That's strange. I thought it was mandatory everywhere.
It IS. None of those tournaments could have been USCF-rated.
Depends on the TD and section. For the reserve w/beginners and sub-1000 players, we normally waive this requirement for the 1st 1-3 tourney appearances.
Though I agree this is the exception, not the rule.
I have seen massive scholastic sections elsewhere in this city where writing moves was a "nice to have" as opposed to a must-have.
