Has anyone here experimented with a system to write out or graph your decision tree as a way of choosing a move? How has it worked? What kind of information do you include?

Originally posted by JDChessSo far, I have used chessbase for my games, and I think it has improved my OTB play since August 2009 when I started playing here. With multiple games going, chessbase makes it far easier to remember what I was thinking and what I had planned when I come back to the game.
