Great point. I realise that I am a lazy spectator. I need to be more proactive.
Relying on a chess engine will only make you weaker. When you "analyze" with an engine, it's easy to become nothing more than a lazy spectator. You should definitely go through the game on your on and try to identify your errors and the critical points in the game. Only after you have put in the time and effort on your own should you break out the engine to check your conclusions and to show you what you missed tactically
