      @beri4138 3 роки тому +73

      This is why when you analyze you should only care about the moves you could've found yourself but missed.
      For example: if the engine tells me I missed a mate in 12, I don't care, because I don't think it is reasonable to expect me to find it.
      But if I missed a 4 move tactic that wins a piece, I practice more tactics.
      If I missed a win in the endgame, I practice endgames.

    I like to copy the PGN into ChessX (with StockFish) and change the analysis settings to Search Depth 6 with 20-30 lines depending on computer performance. I think this is closer to helping analyze what a good human would do - I can probably visualize a 6 move exchange with some effort, but the default time based settings go much deeper than I can in game. I'd be curious what you think about this as a way to mitigate the goofy parts of analysis! (mid-level player ~1500ish btw, if that affects your answer)

    @hanskantoss2120 3 роки тому +1

    Thank you, Levy for a nice video. I was very hopeful at the beginning when you said that this video would help me analyze opening, midgame and endgame phases. Instead the video was mostly about uncovering the engine's thought process. That is also good to realize and your video helped me see things differently, but this video was not a structured tutorial on how to analyze my games. Well sure, there were things to take away from each game: first game -- develop pieces, second game -- do not leave your pieces as a target, third game -- know the opening, anticipate pawn brakes.
    But still, this is analysis of the games. This did not teach us to analyze our games. This was you analyzing games.
    Nonetheless love what you do, great content.
