Dan, this is such an important video. I see these issues with activity and time management being a problem in games of even intermediate players frequently. Specifically, I have seen many a shows stopped in games between intermediates because of playing fast at critical positions.
What chess software are you using. I see Stockfish is part of what you are using. I really appreciate are your videos. And the Novice Nook columns you did.
“Oh whoops, what am I going to do now” is basically most of my games, only I don’t say “whoops”…
Great video!.
