Your grades are way above mine, but for what its worth you would not have lost had your pawns not impeded the mobility of your bishop. I don't know if keeping the rook on would have helped because white's rook was quite immobile just before you exchanged. Thanks for a very instructive game.

3.  Don't look at a chess engine for analysis until after you have analyzed the game with others at chess.com; the same goes for those reviewing. 


Why? I always use chess engine when annotating or analyzing my games, it's very helpful. And I am not the only person who does this, a lot of strong players do this.


Well, I've been taught it's better to analyze first by yourself and ask for human feedback from stronger players because it helps the learning process.

Engines are better at finding the strong moves, but human players are better at detecting the patterns behind your mistakes.

You can always run a chess engine afterwards.

Of course, these are only guidelines, and you don't have to stick by them.  Smile

Great guidlines, but some technical tips on exactly how to annotate and post games would be useful --particularly for me right now, LOL! Anyone care to help with this?
