Analyze multiple games to find bad habits?
Sort:
Look at the last rapid games you've lost. (I'd ignore blitz for now.) Why? Can you categorize the reasons?
For example, I looked at your last three rapid losses, and I'd say a big reason is hanging pieces: leaving them unprotected so your opponent can just take them. Before moving, look at pieces that are exposed. If you gave your opponent two moves in a row, what would he do? What would he take? Protect your pieces.
In your rating range, if you eliminate blunders like that, you'll find your game improving significantly and mostly winning. Don't worry about finding the best move. Just don't give your pieces away.
Awesome, thank you! I've just gotten back into it after pretty much 20 years off (played a bit in HS). This time around, I'm being much mor analytical and looking to improve, so thank you. I'll try it!
If you’re serious about improving your chess openings, you might want to check out AiChessCoach.net. It’s free and super easy to use—you just enter your username from Lichess or Chess.com, and it’ll automatically pull in your recent games (up to 1000) and analyze them. It gives you personalized recommendations and points out repeated mistakes to help you level up. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I thought it might be helpful for others here, too!
Hello,
Is there a way for me to analyze multiple games to find where my common mistakes are? I suppose I could just study them myself, but it's hard to see what I don't see!
Yes I feel like there are common things I miss (mostly in the middle game).
It seems like frequently I'm doing really well then all of a sudden everything falls apart in the middle game.
