"Lots of learning opportunities" this is exactly what I needed to hear today. I'm on a losing streak and started to feel very discouraged. Thank you!

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Hang in there! Happens to all of us from time to time. As long as you learn from the mistakes, even losses benefit you in the long run. 👍

[@andrewwong6500]

Yea that’s life. I also was in that situation 1 month ago

[@Thuyngle]

Same here, good to know I'm not alone!

[@Miesko1]

Even the greatest chess players in the world started out terrible

[@Matcha649]

in chess you win, or you learn (winning is also learning but you get the point)

[@fromant65]

I really like the way you explain chess. It's so relaxed and methodical

[@dkpandey1996]

I needed this; I haven't been analyzing my games in the most optimal way! Great explanation 👍

[@Elevator_Fudd]

10:40 was an epiphany for me! I have been hearing all kinds of advice from various players, both of similar ratings, up to GM's tell me not to use the engine. I was feeling overwhelmed while trying to analyze my games, and didn't know where to turn. Your advice has made so much sense to me. It makes perfect sense I don't know why I didn't see this idea sooner in my chess improvement journey! I've said it before...Keep the great content coming!!!

[@AGL23]

This is by far one of the BEST chess videos I've seen. I'm just learning now. I'm around 1200. I think analyzing my games like this will help! THANKS! :)

Thank you. I've never used a chess engine and you have cleared up some confusion I had. You are a good teacher, very calm and patient.

[@TheB787heavy]

It was definitely helpful Nelson! I know that I will need to watch it multiple times so I can take notes.

[@Chessdrummer83]

Hi Nelson, another great video! I really like this method of analysis, Im going to try it. Last night in a game the report said I had a missed win, so I looked over the game slowly for 10+ minutes and couldnt find it.. turns out it was right at the end where I thought I was lost, it was a very hard move to find (I think) If I used your method it would make my analysis a lot more efficient

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Thanks, rockford! Glad you found it helpful, good luck with future game analysis 👍

This video was lovely, great job

[@themoneymaker03]

Great vid thanks 😊

[@terrortalks3037]

This is a good way of training your brain to see possibilities, using the engine and tempering it to your intuition so you're not just 1) doing the moves the computer tells you to do, learning nothing or 2) playing a losing game against the engine (like I've been doing)

[@homerdough5389]

Finally a great vid to learn how to actually use the engine. Thanks a bunch for this

[@Springer5]

Hello. Thank you for this video. I'm very new to chess and this is the only video I've found that breaks the process down in an easy to understand way for me . Just one thing though... I can't get how this helps play better in future (totally different) games. If you learn that you should have done this or that in THAT game can that really just automatically help you make better choices in OTHER games with completely different moves. Every game is the first time right? It obviously works but what do I do after I've discovered that in THAT game I should have moved the Queen there. Those pieces in exactly those places will probably never happen again. Thanks for a great explanation of the process though. Best I've seen.

4:18 or just use the evaluation bar? thre you can see big changes much quicker because its eye catching and a picture, so if that bar jumps it's very clear.

Hey, I'm looking for the video Chess Vibes did on using Excel to learn from your losses, but I can't find it. Does anyone know what that video is called?

[@sadderwhiskeymann]

GREAT VID!

[@stephentuck6607]

Great video Nelson. What do you think about clicking on 'Report' which shows up mistakes and blunders and "moments" gives you key moments in your game where you can 're-try' to guess the best move, or 'hint' where it shows the piece you should be moving, or 'best move' where it just shows what you should play?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

I will use the Game Report occasionally when I don't have much time and just want to quickly see the big mistakes. If I have more time I will usually do the self analysis and kind of just do my own thing. Hope that helps!

[@stephentuck6607]

@@ChessVibesOfficial I really like the way you do analysis. I appreciated your comment that sometimes the computer/engine’s evaluation isn’t totally accurate when still in the first few moves. The idea of watching for big (1.0+) swings in the engine evaluation is a great tip.

[@Stefyxxl]

🥰 Thank you!

[@WichalRangai]

nice! can you do this on lichess as well?

[@danielyuan9862]

I went to my most recently played game and analyzed my moves more thoroughly using this technique. And there was a "blunder" I made that ended up with the game being a dead draw. Originally, I though it was because the knight could fork my rook and queen, but a further analysis showed that my opponent had a brilliant move that forced a perpetual check. If it wasn't for that very specific move in that specific variation, I would still be winning. My opponent found the knight fork, but missed the brilliant move. I missed both 😂

[@SGT_Brobaker]

By the way, I really like the way how you explain chess. It is clear and focussed.

Thank you for this video. Same thing happens to me. The Chess engine wants me to give up a piece and I don't want to. lol.

[@ricasiogaming7873]

Do you have any tips on using the engine to extract some general principles that you can practically use the next game?

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

That's tough... Most of the time when I'm using the engine it's for specific moves in that position. You can definitely make a mental note of why it's a good move, but translating it into a general principles would be pretty tough I think. Good question though!

[@Life-Sky]

Try to analyze any game, in Lichess you can see the mistakes of each side and try to find better moves. If you can't find it, see the engine recommendation and then try to understand WHY the move played was a mistake, and try to put it into words. For example in this video White was too afraid of losing pawns when he had development advantage that could have been used to gain something more. Black didn't castle and went for many moves that are trades or opening up the position, that's a blunder because his king was vulnerable, and White could sacrifice a rook but keep Black's king in the center. Lesson: As white is to use activity and development advantage, many tactical opportunities when the opponent has not castled. As black is to develop pieces and castle before opening up lines or trades, exposed king and undefended pieces (bishop on e5) are the main cause of tactical shots, in this case both. So as you can see, the engine said something, but we could make a concept out of it to try and understand what to do next time. Hope it helps!
