Analysis with an engine - How useful do you find it to be? • page 2/2 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

Think of having someone by your side with a rating of 3300 telling you where you went wrong and what you can improve and look out for.

Granted this someone isn’t looking to be your friend, and doesn’t explain things in a way you can fully understand, but he is willing to show you all your mistakes and throw some sample lines at you and give you a better option.

He doesn’t talk, but amazingly he doesn’t charge you money for this analysis. I heard he stopped talking when his older brother got beat up by Alfa Zero. He wanted revenge, but Alfa Zero chickened out.

If you are analyzing with an engine, I do recommend the "Learn From Your Mistakes" button/coach which pinpoints your greatest errors. Engine evaluations exist for diagnostic purposes (to tune the engine, not to tune a person).
