Well obviously, if you have an engine, i.e. fritz use that. But look through it yourself first and see if you can find better moves without using the engine. I don't have any engines which makes looking through games tough for me. (but if i play on FICS I get to use crafty which works) If you got beat by some type of trap you will want to see how you could have stopped it from happening, and if you caught your opponent in a trap you will want to see how he could have avoided it. I would suggest annotating if you have the time as well.

Hi, how should you analyze, study and learn from your own and stronger players games? should it be done differently with your own games than with a grandmasters? thx.

Originally posted by TheDarkKnightNo problem. I think that exercise would be really neat to do. It would be great if you had someone helping you, say you play white and they play black and plus they keep pushing you and encouraging you. It's hard to concentrate on something like that when you have no one to enforce it.
Wow thats really cool, especially since i dont have a live coach. thx:-).
