1). Is the best way to first annotate the game on my own, and comparing it with the analysis engine on Chess.com?
Keep It Simple. All you need to do when analyzing your games is the following:
Did both sides follow Opening Principles?
What were your ideas behind each move?
What was your opponents ideas?
What was my game plan? Ideas, thoughts, etc?
How long did i take on each move?
Did i rush my moves? Why?
2). For moves that are considered "inaccuracies" and "mistakes"
The only thing you should be using a chess engine for is blunders, and missed tactics.
3). Some games are done because one person runs out of the time.
The only games you should be analyzing are your losses.
Hello, I am a beginner with a rating of 1200. Recently I have started to analyze and annotate my games, but here are some difficulties that I have encountered and I wish someone could help me with:
1). Is the best way to first annotate the game on my own, and comparing it with the analysis engine on Chess.com?
2). For moves that are considered "inaccuracies" and "mistakes" by the computer but I don't quite understand even after reading the line provided by the computer(I couldn't see why I have an advantage even I played the right move), how should I handle them? Should I stick to them and try my best to understand them or?
3). Some games are done because one person runs out of the time. Should I be too concerned with the lines provided by the computer(the game could have continued...) or should I try to finish with the computer?
Thank you!!!
