Recording Your Games
Dave Gaston has produced a single page summarising how to record your chess games and it can be found here. A fuller description can be found in Appendix E to the FIDE rules on algebraic notation.
To help you to practice writing down your moves, Steve Fanning has created a scoresheet with larger than normal boxes to allow for corrections.
Thinking About Your Moves
During Lancashire junior training sessions, coaches will often encourage the players to take more time over their moves. The idea is to use this extra time to think about the position on the board and to find the best move to play (rather than just making the first move that comes to mind).
In order to help juniors to organise their thoughts, we suggest that players become familiar with our T.O.P.P.S. list, which covers every option that a player should be thinking of when it is their turn to move. A one page summary is a useful quick-reference, with a more detailed explanation of how to use the T.O.P.P.S. list also available. Please note the most important piece of advice - to use the list properly it is important to stress that you should 'sit on your hands', forcing you to THINK BEFORE YOU MOVE.
