 Subject: An interesting exercise...
Message:
I've been doing something I've never done before. A few weeks ago, I clicked on GK's highest rated player Rodog's "Active Games" list and selected the game in which the fewest moves had been made. I think there were three moves at the time. I played through those moves (it was a Sicilian) and since then I've been going back to that game every few days, replaying it from the beginning each time and watching the game develop.
I haven't spent any time researching the opening or doing much analyzing but so far it's turned out to be a case of opposite sides castling and both sides throwing the pawns out at the castled position (it''s the harpov game for those interested). I'm enoying the slow motion drama and hope to learn a bit while doing so.

is quite a number of moves beyond what is showing on the board :))
I used to have a trick I used in postal, you might want to try to get further into the game when it starts getting out of theory.
Like your Novice Nook link said .... analyze to the point of Quiescence; THEN ... Start to analyze ! You can get really deep into what may occur.. and for instance you can use self blitzing at first (well you could use a computer since you are not competing ... but I didn't) just to bring our those weird Right Brain ideas that occur in a second or two, that your logical "what's next" Left Brain may just refuse to see. Then do some serious looking after that, like you really have the position.
(Ya this is weird ... be glad I dont bring up the self-hypnosis bit! But the road to Chess immortality is a slippery slope, and you are already a Chess player. This is only a little stranger, and besides I no longer think I am Sophia Polgar playing in Rome. Well, only during tournaments anyway .... :))

You could view the game. Then decide what move you would make in that position and see how rodog then plays it. Good way to compare yourself to GKs top "dog"

Message:
I check in on the game once in a while, note how it's developing, think abou what might happen and move on. Light reading, so to speak.

It's the August, 2005 article, called "Quiescence Errors", I believe.
