- Theoretical section:
Today's lesson was about the importance of self evaulation and mehods were shown how to do it.
The author of the course suggest to analyse the results of your game based on different factors:
1. Look the results of your games from the different openings you play
2. Look the results of your games from the different type of middlegame: open, half-open or closed positions
3. Look the results of your games from the different chess themes like: sharp lines, open files, minority-attack and others.
4. Look the results of your games from the different endgames.
The results will show in which opening or endgame or middlegame you won more games, so you are good and where you need to improve.
