you need to watch and understand which of your moves win and which lose. If you lose, you need to understand what exactly your wrong moves were used by your opponent.

i think its difficult to analyse blitz or rapid on ur own...

probably try playing a  90+30 mins online or a 60 +30 mins..

im pretty sure u will see ur analytical ability improve drastically

u were thinking and analysing all ur moves in the game itself when its a classical,so u will find it easier to analyse ur game on ur own or spot an improvement ..

 

ofc u have  to spend 1 to 2 hrs on a single game to come up with accurate analysis of ur own game...

even gms find themselves that their analysis was rubbish when they checked with the engine

 

 

but the thing was before engines there was a saying " long analysis wrong analysis " 

but nowadays these quotes doesnt even make sense to us because we will get the right analysis on our finger tips

 

back then weaker players used to pay stronger players to go over their games (unless that guy is nice or his friend)

 

 

 

so in a sense we r lucky to have engines happy.png

also going over ur games on ur own has to be mastered still ..no doubt ..

personally im struggling with it as well..

but i found the problem was im trying to analyse shorter time controls

Yes, your idea is right playing long game is good. In that case in a game i already found some variations so that's help to much. 

Thanks both of you @Sasha_Sanchez_Shah and @Gump_forest for giving your suggestions.

I can't even analyze my games without computer help.i can't see moves at all.. especially my opponent moves during game..and there is no need to say about variations that come up in actual long games😅😅🙂

Self anaylsis is the only way, or you can talk and practice which other people who love chess, and are at the same or higher level than you to get better advice.

I hope if even 15l10 is available, but sadly I can’t meet any opponent.

When i go through my games by myself, i rarely find anything new, just repeating what i was thinking during the game. So i let engine go through the game to point out blunders & mistakes. Then i try to figure out why this was a blunder, what i could have played instead and lastly, why the engine is suggesting its move. Perhaps not the best way to analyse my own games but at least it works.

I am not a great player but going through a game with a physical chessboard and writing out the moves might help. If you don’t know exactly which moves were bad, you might be able to guess around what moves the game started to become lost. If it is a lower rated game there were probably mistakes from both sides, which would mean the advantage shifted more than once. That could make it hard to tell from one move to another where your mistakes happened.
