In the past, I learned the most from reviewing my mistakes. For me it is a hard habit to keep up, because my losses are more painful than the wins -- a flaw in my character that I must correct.

I've decided to start a small blog, a public record of my analysis. I'll try to be as honest as possible when reviewing my games; with any luck this will encourage me to be more thoughtful in my moves, and to play fewer games -- focusing on quality over quantity, as analyzing losses will take more time.


You can find my thoughts here, once I start. http://www.chess.com/blog/Haiku575. I won't bother the forums about this further.

Sounds interesting,

Also I had no idea you was on Chess.com (well I know you are Kasparov, but anyway), I sent you a friend request there :)

Cool!

Yes, I use chess.com occasionally, but I'm not as active in chess as I used to be. :)

last entry 15 months ago. No recent losses? ;)

Lol. Haven't started this yet, will lose a game soon :P

Nice idea Kasp. Also sent you a friend request. Up for a game? Though I suspect you are much better than me - I'm only 1571 rated on chess.com....

Sure! I'm a better Warlighter than a chess player, though, so I think we'll be on equal footing. :)



This was supposed to be my first loss analyzed, and then Vendetta surrendered. >_< https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=8786749

I'll make sure to lose a game tonight! Haha.

There we go. Orange got me. I'll post it soon.

You play hyper-accelerated dragon and you play structure with e6? ;)

First advise, do not play e6 in that opening :P
Second advise, get chess arena and some open source chess engine (I'm using stockfish) to check your analysis, becasue your analysis is not completely correct frmo what I saw :)

@Sze, I do indeed use Arena! I use Stockfish and Komodo to look games over, but this blog is going to be for Warlight analysis, not chess. I'm merely using chess.com because I'd rather not flood the forums ;)

Ah, ok, wanna play some blitz? I sent you an invite on chess.com
