World Chess Champion Anand on practicing with a real board

Hello,

I now only use XG in Iron-Man mode - any other mode and I was always making excuses or taking short cuts. It was too easy to find excuses to avoid recording a bad performance - I was tired, drunk, stressed, made dumb mistakes etc. It was too easy to avoid making errors by seeing the computer analysis live - if I made a minor error by failing to double I could correct it next go.

I was also failing to develop important skills for live backgammon such as fast & accurate pip counts.

By only using XG in Iron Man mode and rotating opponents (between Intermediate, Advanced and Extreme), I have added 1-2 PR to my rating but become a much better player.
