Reviewing a game you just won

Dear folks,

In a chess game we come across three outcomes win, loss, and draw.

When we loss we remember our bad move and the position we blundered.When it is a draw game we understand how we manage to draw.

But when a game is won we seldom review how we won the game.Does the habit of reviewing one's won games an interesting excercise or is it a waste of time?

Does GMs , IMs ,and CMs have the habit of reviewing one's won games?

People study Kasporov,Fisher,Tal,Murphy immortal games and how these genius outsmarted the best in bussiness.But how many of you study your own games that you won?

If you have the habit of reviewing your own game how do you carry it about?Does that habit pay divedend?

I review games I've won.  Just because you won doesn't mean your moves were the best.  Usually don't study them as intensely as the games I lose but every game gets at least a once over.

Well does that habit help you reduce your blunder rate and do u think " if the opponent had made that move i will be done"

I review both sides of my games.  The good and poor moves that my opponent made are just as important as the good and poor moves that I made.
