HOW TO STUDY GRANDMASTER ANNOTATED GAMES
Sort:
well-put!
except I was being facetious (heehee!)
And I just got through giving an answer to the OP's identical thread...only to discover that it had been deleted in the interim. 
Those are the breaks
Hey Nizman, im no expert but this is how i study master games. I play through the games slowly about 30 to 45 mins each. During the playthrough, i try to contradict the annotators analysis trying to find the best move to the losing side .Most of the time im lost and wrong, but it helps alot coz you get to see your faults too trying to find other solutions on the board.
well i think that ivanchuk said he guessed the moves as kid and then compared what is correct and what was played. but i might have it confused in my memory
but that being said, i tried it myself and guessing the moves like never works for me
Don't just read, UNDERSTAND why the GM made that move, play through the game on a real chessboard

You know, that makes sense because in essence, you'll have the "differences" between the guess and what was played do all the 'teaching' for you in some regard.
Like,
"Oh okay, I see Kasparov sac'd the rook here on c2 to open up the king side for his queen and knight to attack. I just guessed he would have brought the other knight closer to the kingside to have an extra piece to coordinate for the attack, but I see this is more immediate, gains a tempo and is a much better move."
Then the next time I see the position over the board, I'll have the benefit of that study to pull from and use it in my own games if all goes the way it's supposed to, right?
Guys thank u very much 4d comments
