Chess Exam and Training Guide, he gives a procedure toward the end of the book for going over your own games. I’ve used it a couple of times, and I like it. As an adult player, trying to improve but with limited study time, I find this approach to be practical.Here’s a summary of the procedure:

- Identify critical moves that might have been strategically wrong, and record ideas that might have been better.
- Use a chess program’s “blunder check” to find tactical mistakes. (I use Fritz.)
- Play against a chess program to test out your new strategic ideas. (I haven’t had time to do this.)
- Review the opening phase. Find a stopping point between the 10th and 20th moves and summarize its outcome. Make a note of anything you’d like to do differently next time.
