Fastest/best pipcounting method?

Posted By: Tenland

In order to give myself more time to think about the plays themselves OTB, I have decided to invest some time in becoming a faster pipcounter.

It is not a problem if the method merely returns the difference between the counts of the two players - that's good enough for me, except in races.

What I am looking for is the method that is the fastest and most effortless OTB. I am not afraid to spend some time and effort at home becoming more proficient at using the method.

I am not brilliant at doing calculations the way someone like John is, but a little better/faster than average.

Keeping a running count is something I can do in simple positions, but I have found it takes a lot of energy to keep that in my head in more complex games and when hitting takes place.

I currently use the colorless counting method, which is not bad.

Which method are you using, or would recommend for me? Naccel? Running pip-count (practising it more, so it takes less energy)? Some other method?
