If you're analyzing your games for the purpose of preparing for the next time you reach an identical position then you're missing the point. You're looking for patterns or themes that you need improvement on so that you can apply them more generally and foresee and calculate properly next time.
bad attitude towards analyzing games?
Sort:
When I look back at my games I find I can only remember why I made about 90% of my moves.
Guess which 10% tend to have lost me games?
analyzing your games is key to improvement...
Kasparov was chess champion for 20 years because he would analyze all his games.. win lose or draw... and fine tune his play so he was always a step ahead...chess is a game decided by who makes the "LAST" mistake...theres always room for improvement.. analyzing your own games will definitely help you improve
I no longer analyze my games (lost, won or drawn) because it seems to me that there is little to be learned given the large number of variations and the low likelihood I'll encounter the same position in future games. Sure, if I mess up the opening I make a mental note of that, but anything that's middle game or end game I see little point in studying. That doesn't mean that I think I am a master in say, end games, but the best tool for studying end games is, in my opinion, playing against the computer. Of the middle game I say nothing because, once again, it's unlikely I'll see it again. I simply accept that I did not foresee or calculate properly and move on with my next chess game.
