I know everyone analyzes their own games, but my question relates more to how. Most online chess communities offer some ability to take notes about a game, but I've found this to be rather deficient most of the time. I like to go through my games like you might see in Logical Chess, move by move. Granted, I comment a much smaller fraction of moves than you might see in a book like Logical Chess, but I find it instructive, especially since I'm trying to improve.
So, any suggestions? Do you just keep it written down (that's what I do now), do you use software to load your PGNs and comment that way? Is there software that already facilitates this?
Regards.

Fritz is normally considdered to be the best software for analyzing. The newest version of the program includes a new state of the art feature called "Full analyzes".
In this feature Fritz deeply analyzes your game with notations, training quizes etc. You can choose how deeply your game is analyzed by setting up the time spent on each move, setting the threshhold that defines a bad move etc.
It takes some time but should be helpful if you are patient and disiplinned.
I have Chessmaster that I use to analyze my games when complete. I'll likely pick up Fritz 9 as soon as it's delivered in Oct. 31st as well.
Will Fritz allow me to annotate my own moves, because I don't believe Chessmaster will. I like the analysis that they offer, but I also want to annotate the moves with my rationale for making it be it a blunder or a good move.
Thanks for the replies!

Anyway, I was still curious as to how most of you annotated your games. Thanks for the replies!
