I am trying to start analyzing my games, but I am a bit unsure how to even go about doing that. I originally would have the computer analyze my game, and comment on what I think are the main points of the match I should keep in mind.

I have the following tips so far:

  • serious games, create a study to analyze
  • try to comment what went through your mind as you played the game
  • view what others did in a similar position using a database
  • have final comments/lessons learned
  • classify mistakes. leads to pattern recognition
  • computers don’t fully understand openings *use computer analysis after my own analysis and see where my analysis went wrong

    There’s a great blog post about how to do that but I can’t find it right now.

    Basically: don’t start with the engine. You’ll see the big tactics you missed and think „oh if I had done that right I would have won“ and go on.

    It’s better to leave the engine off and think for your self. Write out the variations in critical positions to reason why you did what you did and where you maybe went wrong. Then check with the engine.
