    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!!!

    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

    @Springer5 Před rokem +1

    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.

  • @terrortalks3037
    @terrortalks3037 Před 2 lety

    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)

    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
      @ChessVibesOfficial  Před 2 lety +3

      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!

      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.

    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 😂

      it analyzes positions, tactics, and the best possible moves, then shows how much of an advantage someone has, the unit being pawns.
