wow, good & very thorough.

unfortunately for me, laborious time consuming ideas end up just being whims.

so I try Not to force myself to be laborious or time consuming.  instead from my Personal experience

A)  Very limited engine analysis.  Engines are usually only about getting the calculations right.  Instead, strive to understand the consequences.

B) yes, look at the opning.  (i'm doing that more recently).  but skip Very thorough analysis, look to see if you opening got you to a 'playable middlegame' and if so , move on...

C) don't forget to look for improvements in the opponents play.  if your opponent could've gained material, and didn't. its not a tribute to YOUR skill. its luck.  strive to play moves that don't require 'luck'

D) simple and often enough to be able to find similar games

E) its ok, to just run down a quick game, find it less interesting, or to go through a certain game and find it very instructive.  but try to review as many games as possible

F) if online.  your opponent will almost never go for talking about it after it happened, but generally "decline" the rematch and look it over- carefully.  fresh reviews are Good!   your in a different mindset when you review something- and you tend to see more.

G) keep notes.  I agree with the harcore guy about that.  Notes are important.

H) disclaimer.  I'm a pretty low rated patzer so keep in mind that my skills are experiences at this are all evolving.  BUT I'm doing more of this all the time.

there was the time I NEVER went over a game.  Now I see this as HUGELY importantly and big part of chess improvement...

thx patzer
