Played my first OTB game yesterday with a friend, not tournament. Oh man, is that hard.
Halfway through we gave up on the clock (15/10 game) because we both kept on forgetting. I wrote down the moves, I thought I knew notation. Guess I don't! I remembered my 2nd and 3rd moves, notation was wrong. I don't remember my fourth move, the notation gives an impossible position.
I guess I can go over past games on chess.com, watching the moves but not looking at the notation, and writing down what I think the notation is. Are there any other tips?
Just keep doing it.
That said, I still make move errors on notation, though I can usually figure out the problems when looking over the score sheets later
