I've been told a lot to analyse your games, but I'm not really sure what to do with them or how I'm supposed to improve off them? Like am i supposed to take a lesson from each game and put it into the next? If someone could help me understand that would be really nice thank you!

I play specific opening like the kings Indian/Reti opening. I have some things I struggle with in it and sometimes I don’t know what to do in some situations after I’m fully developed on the board.

After a game I like to see both what mistakes I made and what good plays my opponent made to counter my opening.

From there I become more knowledgeable about how to handle certain positions and how to follow through with my attacks.

Stuff like that is probably what you should be doing.

While you review a game here are questions to ask. Did I make a mistake in the opening? What mistake did I or the opponent make, and what did I miss? things you might have missed are free pieces, tactics, and weaknesses. For super new players you should first check the meanings of chess terms and learn basic principles in the opening and then learn how to make a plan and blunder check your moves and your opponent’s to see blunders from both sides. Search up practical and theoretical endgames to learn them.
