Post game commentary:
* I think Aphelion is probably a few stones stronger than Phelan.
* I made a large mistake: in the lower right, a distant approach is obviously more appropriate. I think white was already behind a bit when I took over, but that definitely didn't help. I don't know what I was thinking. Also, I shouldn't have permitted that knights jump a couple moves later. It's really hard to know what to correct.
* I'm not sure about a few of Joaz's corrections...
* This method of limiting corrections is awful. It magnifies positional advantages to a large extent (if you're behind, you'll need more corrections...). I have an idea for another method:
A correction costs C points (tracked separately for each side). Each time you make a correction, C is incremented by X. Every Y moves that go by without a correction, C is decremented by Z. C never drops below N.
For example, C starts as 4. Every correction adds 2 to C (first correction costs 4 points, next one 6, next one 8, etc). Every 5 consecutive moves without a correction subtracts 1 from C (so, make a correction, it costs 4 points, wait 5 moves before making another correction, it costs 5 instead of 6).
