00:00Try to understand what's happening in the game and then you can set it aside because you have
00:04another game probably next day and then you have to go back and you have to find out what did go
00:12wrong but also you have to find out what did go wrong with your opponent because if you won the
00:19game it doesn't mean that you haven't made a mistake. Most likely it's because your opponent
00:24made the last mistake and it's very important that you find these mistakes, opponent's mistakes and
00:31your mistakes. The greatest danger is what I call gravity of your past success. If we win we're always
00:43tempted to consider it as a result of our greatness. We made great moves, we crushed our opponent, let's
00:51move on. But I bet you there is a mistake and if you don't find these mistakes, if you didn't find
01:03what went wrong in your game before they did, they will be ahead of you next time. So to be out of a
01:13curve you always have to analyze your own games even if you win and that's what I did all the time.
01:21Studying classical games always helps because at the end of the day it's about patterns and
01:33working and find best place for learning patterns if not studying the games of those giants
01:42who have invented these ideas. I spent a lot of time working on a series of books called My Great
01:52Predecessors and one of the things I discovered in the process of working on these books is that
01:58very important.
