📝 Private Strategy and Planning Notepad
The Strategy Notepad is a specialized tool designed for correspondence players to record complex plans and positional assessments privately. By documenting your thought process, you maintain continuity in your thinking over days or weeks of play, ensuring your long-term strategy remains consistent.
🔥 Planning insight: Writing down a bad plan doesn't make it good. You need to know what to plan for. Master standard middlegame plans to fill your notepad with winning ideas.
Why Use the Planning Notepad?

- Complement the Analyse Board: Use alongside the Analyse Board to record the strategies you want to test further.
