Learn from your mistakes! • page 1/1 • Game analysis • lichess.org

Hi! After a game, I'm used to analyze it with Stochfish, here on Lichess.

ANALYSIS BOARD --> STUDY --> CREATE STUDY --> REQEUST A COMPUTER ANALYSIS.

Now, somehow, it happens sometime that when I click ANALYSIS BOARD I get the analysis already done (I guess because my opponent already done it) AND there is also a bottom called "learn from your mistake", that I find really useful. Why that bottom don't appear when I ask the analysis myself? I really would like it! Thanks!

Learn from your mistakes requires a prior analysis requensted either by yourself or by somebody else.

I don't think analysing with stockfish is really efficient. You can't ask stockfish to why a position is superior for white or black. It doesn't highlights the ideas behind moves. But it is fast I'll give it to that so if you're in a hurry, it may be useful to quickly spot the blunders and mistakes. But if you ain't in a hurry, it would be the best to not use it and instead analyse the game yourself.

Step 1: (Press) ANALYSIS BOARD;
Step 2: Scroll down to the bottom of the screen;
Step 3 : (Press) REQUEST A COMPUTER ANALYSIS
Step 4: (Wait) The analyses is getting done by the server.
Step 4: Look at the graph to see who dominated the game, not who won.
Step 5: On the bottom tabs (Press to discover) Move times, Cross-table, FEN & PGN to download the game in different format.
Step 6: On the bottom right, (Press) Blunders. If pressed more than once you will be scrolling directly to each blunder.
Step 7: (Press) LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
Step 8: (Press) View the solution
Step 9: (Press) The highlighted green diode symbol. All the proposed moves will be displayed.
Step 10: (Press) NEXT
Step 11: Repeat Steps ... View the solution or Skip this move

I'm sure if the words "View the solution" was more like the next button, people would use it even more.

There is not need to analyze a game, unless you are ready to review it.

There is more thing you can discover by from the bottom triple menu bar if you press that too.

Press one item at a time and discover what it can do.

Well that was so obvious, I did not want to insult others by mentioning it.
It's the steps to get the answer to the incorrect moves, that I wanted to emphasize.

The method we chose to use the learning section is made to help us growth in chess. Some young minds may like solving the problem before getting the answer, while others that are set in there ways or have memory problems, may wish to see the answer before re-examining the error.

A player reviewing the right moves must go beyond just getting the right answer. You must understand why the answer is better. Note going through a key hole maybe easy for an engine, but we need to open up the door to go through it. So having imperfections is human.

In conclusion: This is why I press the forward button before pressing the next button. To get the bigger picture of why that move was better than mine. Trying to find the answer before getting the answer is the better approach.
