Is there a computer program that makes puzzles from your games?

Instead of memorizing tactics problems from books, I'd rather memorize the tactical blunders I make most often. I'd like to imput my games into a computer program that then spits out many snap shot positions from my games and asks me how to get out of a problem or capitalize on a blunder. I could then do those in repetition, instead of just maybe seeing them once during game analysis. Do I just have to draw the positions myself?

I have Fritz 8. I don't know how to make it analyze my games.

I know of one chess program which is called BetaX, although I don't know how it is possible to get it

chess.com must run a similar program to get the positions for their tactics trainer

You can use the "Full analysis" and "Blunder Check" features of Fritz 8 to find chess tactics and puzzles from your games.  Just make sure you check the "Training" button.

This will mark the position, and it will come up as a training question when you play through the game.

This is how I find a lot of the chess tactics that I use in the e-mail newsletter I write at http://tacticstime.com :-)

Does Fritz find 4 move combos to win a piece, or does it normally just see two full moves ahead?

TimmyBx

With the blundercheck you can tell it how many moves to look ahead, and what is considered a blunder - like 2 pawns or above when looking for moves that win a piece.  So you could set it to find 4 move combos that win a piece, or whatever you wanted.
