Or maybe don't record your matches at all

That is why I intend to record my moves if I ever enter a tournament, even if it causes me to play worse, because I'm more interested in studying the game afterwards than I am in maximizing my winning chances.

IMHO, I find the the whole obsession with match recording to be a bit unnecessary.

I must say that I can't understand the rationale here either. If you can examine at your leisure games against bots or online opponents, the only extra benefit that you might glean from self-recording matches is learning how much worse you play in the pressure-cooker of a live tournament. But if you're playing worse because you're distracted by the exigencies of self-recording, then surely you're defeating your own purpose, or at very least interfering with the experiment by the very act of recording it? Heisenberg would be amused.
