How to Analyse Your Own Games (Step by Step)

• Review Without an Engine First

  Go through the game yourself and write down where you felt critical moments occurred. This builds independent thinking and prevents engine dependency.

• Mark Key Turning Points

  Highlight moments where the evaluation of the game swung. These usually reveal decision-making errors or missed opportunities.

• Check Candidate Moves

  For each turning point, ask: what alternatives did I have? Comparing candidate moves clarifies whether you missed a stronger option.

• Spot Recurring Mistakes

  Look for patterns—are you often dropping pawns, miscalculating tactics, or misplaying certain openings? These reveal training priorities.

• Only Then Use the Engine

  After your own review, turn to a chess engine. Use it to verify your analysis, discover hidden resources, and understand tactical oversights.

• Create Action Items

  Turn each mistake into a goal. For example, if you blundered due to time trouble, practice time management. If you misplayed an opening, update your repertoire notes.

• Save Annotated Games

  Build your own annotated database. Over time, you’ll spot improvements and avoid repeating old mistakes.

• Learn from Wins Too

  Don’t just review losses. Even winning games contain mistakes. Analysing them prevents bad habits from creeping into your play.

• Compare with Model Games

  When you misplay a structure or plan, study master games in the same opening. Learn the standard approaches you missed.

• Build a Feedback Loop

  Apply lessons from analysis in your next games. Continuous review and adjustment accelerates long-term improvement.
