The main concern regards preparation from the position [leaf node] that is at the end of the repertoire line. Perhaps the GM should prepare for more than one line, each of which might begin at that leaf node. Obviously, too many branches could become unmanageable. While playing with Fritz, in home analysis, I vaguely recall that the "best line so far" changes rapidly in the beginning but as time goes by, the line changes do not occur so often. It is during one of these "long waits" that the exact amount of time the GM uses in analysis may not be so critical. Sound right?
