I have thought of employing some sort of note-taking situations in live games previously and once I read the articles by Dr. Schoonmaker, I became more enthused about the concept.

However, in practice, I had difficulty coming up w/ some sort of tablature, matrix, shorthand, template or what have you that would be discreet enough to record information on the fly. Does anyone have anything that works?

Please advise.

If you cannot remember important details about your opponents until you can take a bathroom break, that seems to be what you should be working on instead. No matter how good your notes are, it won't help if you can't remember them for a short session of play.
