[@katrinaxharhus3747]

​@@luciangv3252 I definitely find it valuable to analyze and correct the mistakes I know I made in games I won, as well as finding mistakes I didn't know about, figuring out what the best or a better move is in places I played just okay, and also, usually, finding the earliest or quickest forced mate, because I often get myself very close but take more moves than I really needed to get there. My losses I sometimes don't learn as much from because often it's that I screwed up badly in the beginning and played well but not well enough to make up for the early mistakes 😅 but I definitely analyze both.

My game analysis just says "Bruh, you suck. Maybe, Tic-Tac-Toe is more appropriate for your skill set." 😔

[@valimaa1006]

I once analysed a game where I used the Greek gift where I let them take my knight, then sacrificed my bishop and opened the castled king and then checkmated him with rook and queen. All of those moves were blunders, as he could just defend with his queen the final move of my combination which my opponent missed. So yeah it's good to know.

[@anshumanpandey8547]

The difference between masters and an average player offering sacrifices is that the former's line is much more forcing as compared to ours. Whether or not our oppenent sees the correct way out of trouble is what makes the difference. I have gotten a Great move that was preceded and supported by a blunder because neither me nor my opponent saw the blunder. And i have gotten 'miss' followed by a great move because I was so tunnel visioned on doing something that I missed that my previous move could secure a better winning situation.

[@Bismarck-S]

I really found this interesting. This is mostly how I use game review to improve at chess, and I definetly learn from it. Only playing the same few openings against common e4's and d4's, as well as e5's, d5's, c5's and c6's really has helped me increase my opening accuracy, meaning I know a lot of ideas, tactics and lines in the opening stage of the game. This usually gives me a good position in the opening, which I then build upon to gain more of a concrete advantage. I am only 1600 though, so I am not perfect and I do not know everything, but I continue to analyze my games and expand my knowledge of how to approach commonly reach positions in my opening repertoire. If anyone here in the comments has read this, feel free to make use of this learning technique to improve your chess. I only just started last autumn, and look where I'm at. If getting good at chess is your goal, then try this out. Don't fully listen to me however, since I don't really know if this is a reliable technique or not. I can only give advice from my own experience, which might not be fully efficient and reliable.

One thing is I feel the free game review has very variable depth, especially when compared to the seld analysis engine, especially in brilliant moves where a bait/sacrifice leads to a mate in 1 or 2. Game review will think it is brilliant but self analysis engine will think its an inaccuracy maybe because it thinks the threat of mate in 1 or 2 is very obvious for the opponents to see or counter.

Solid video, i strongly dislike the meme 100 elo click bait but this i found genuinely informative. Would love more. I especially liked how you figured out the nature of the mistake from the engine moves, however figuring out that it's due to an isolated queen's pawn that may become weaker much later is never something I'm going to find at my level. There could be so many reasons that would seem equally likely.

Thanks Levy. I've seen you talking about how to understand the eval bar in other videos, but having a separate video focussing on this was really useful

This is awesome! Human analysis is so much better than computer analysis, which is often flawed btw. If a computer spends half a second per move analysing, it usually changes it´s mind if you give it at least five seconds to think about a move. This kind of comprehensive human analysis helps you understand not just tactics or openings, but also the middle game and the endgame, the whole package.

At 11:30 you can see that the computer marked c5 as an inaccuracy, even though the eval is exactly 0.01 point worse after ...c5 than after the best computer move (Qd7). I think it's important to keep in mind that the chess engine doing the game reviews is much less powerful than the one in the "Analysis" section. Because of that, sometimes moves are marked as inaccurate even though, when you push the analysis a little further, they turn out to actually be the best move or to be as good as what the game review recommends.

The game review should be free instead of one use per day

[@mr.boloso8296]

Nice video, very instructive. But I've got one question, once I analyze my previous game this way, I cannot guarantee that the same ideas should be used in the next one. For instance, let's say in one game the engine shows I need to develop and castle short, but in the next game it may say it is better to take more space quickly and castle long for an attack. So the question is: How can I handle this different positions and still learn using the engine to correct my mistakes?
