Hi all,
Just played another otb game for my club and had some interesting moments. The game wasn't very long (25 moves) but I did analyse it. How do you keep track from your mistakes (small or big)? I am thinking of writing a sort of journal, do you do that?
Have a good day/knight!

Fritz 17 can save your games including analysis, notes. just back up your data for safety. I'm not sure if free Arena can do this function too.
Hi
Yes I do keep a note book only for Chess
keep all kind of references, tips, in formations
always write down for quick reference and records
very useful
No, I don't. But I would recommend it for anyone hasn't yet stopped growing in chess. Chess is a wonderful game. Chess is worth whatever you want to put into it. And so is ping pong, pickleball, singing, making music with a cornet, picking a guitar, acting, writing sermons, sailing, windsurfing, cross-country skiing, yoga, photography, & investing, etc. In all of those things and a few others I'm a somewhat competent, low-level journeyman who will never become a master. When it hasn't happened by your 7th decade becoming a master probably isn't going to happen. Stick with as many things as you like doing. There can be wonderful rewards for being a master in something. And if you are only a jack of many trades like me that can be very good too. The most satisfied, happiest people in the world are the ones most satisfied and happiest with their spouse, partner, or lover. When you must choose between sacrificing for a relationship or something else, I say always choose the relationship.

Keeping a journal is recommended for all subjects and activities. Our memory is limited. Even a diary is very useful to understand the Self, changes in attitude and personality.
A chess journal must include all his chess activities like what he reads, what Master game he analyzed and moat important the games he played especially otb game.
Wow, great to read this. Am not sure if I have early onset dementia or not but - I thought if I couldn't remember things from only my mind, then it wasn't worth anything to keep notebooks. But I started learning chess very late in life, a year ago.
Of course, there is a modern way of what you are suggesting, and I screenshot and comment on my analysis like burgundy xD my Ubuntu OS makes that so easy and precise, but I imagine windows is catching up. Of course we could add text files. I have a file for each current game.
Even without the paid for analysis I have still found ways to save all of that.
So it's great to hear there might be hope to make notes of mistakes even if I forget that they are mistakes, great to hear less infirm people also don't rely on memory only.
It's easy to see Carlsen and Grischuk and other greats and think what's the point.
Also I tend to smash out the same openings again and again to find out what is wrong with them, so ... this idea is fleshing out and becoming more and more useful, and thanks for the advice, and a feeling of hope, no matter how slight, that I could get to 1900.
I'm only 1400 OTB, i have lost quite a few games by neglecting to calculate and oversee (sometimes basic) stragical themes that i wouldn't oversee online (i play everyday online but only once every two weeks at best OTB), I hope that by keeping a journal i can re-read it before an OTB match and capitalise on my mistakes or oversights i had last time and reach one day 1800.
I'm thinking to just organise my journal, per game, by opening (themes, what went wrong and well, what i over or underestimates, then the middlegame (plans, strategical misses, candidate move selection), then endgame (theoretical mistakes, strategical mistakes) and finally an overall conclusion
Nice. I usually seem to have lost most of my games around move 10. When I look back over them, but I haven't been making the time for the correct study.
I do ! I even built a some text editor here : mychessnotebook.com so that I can write text around chessboard pictures and export them as a PDF, in order to have a booklet with the games I want to come back to.
on my thumb drive. i'm writing my own "amateur hunting": theory
