How to Analyze Your Chess Games

Hi All,

I just made a post titled How To Improve - The Art Of Game Analysis.  It goes over why we should analyze games and how much time we should spend on it. The post also details different levels of game analysis with step-by-step breakdowns of how to analyze your games.

Interested to hear your feedback!

Thanks,

Good article! thanks for sharing.

Thanks - glad you like it.

Nicely done!

That's truly deep

chess.com is in the business of making money.  Speed chess, variants, and streaming is what pays the bills.  If getting a bunch of hyped up kids with ADHD to foot the bills, then why not?

wow that was so deep... almost as deep as that bible verse in your status

Very good article. There is another option to the flashcard idea. I found a while back a freeware called Lucas chess. Some of you may be familiar with this. https://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/

It is not the easiest to work with as it takes some learning but it allows the user to create a lot of their own training. You can create a database of these positions and then test yourself very easily once you've built it. My plan is to place in there the positions right before I blunder or miss a tactic. I may even include critical positions that I got the correct move. Lucas Chess has a lot more you can do but it takes time to learn it and to set it up. The nice thing is you can paste FEN positions when editing. That makes life pretty easy as I have spent countless hours just setting up position after position! 

I will probably split up these positions by time controls, so one set of exercises will be from blitz games while another set will be from rapid. Classical OTB sets will have it's own set as well. 

I also have part of my repertoire set up so I can practice my lines for any given system. That takes a lot of time depending on how deep you go. Not trying to sell working on openings more than suggested, just mentioning this as tool to use when working on openings. I decided that with new openings, I only input 10 moves along with all critical variations which is enough to keep me busy for a long time! Then when you are ready to practice, you start playing and the software will automatically play the moves you input one variation at a time.   

So im clear.  I am not attacking the site, or the members.  Its a business, and you cater to the people that pay the bills.  Business 101

You're annoying, no one cares

Start your own business and run it that way.  It may work depending on certain things, and to a certain extent.
