Transcript

00:00You have to analyze your own games.

00:17Analyzing your own games is vital for your progress

00:21because that's the ultimate source of inspiration.

00:25And when I say inspiration, it's more like learning experience

00:29but if you want to understand how to get better,

00:33you have to look exactly at the moves you made

00:35and find out the nature of your mistakes

00:38but also to understand why you made good moves in certain positions.

00:42Learning about yourself is impossible.

00:45It's absolutely impossible without being very thorough analysts of your own games.

00:51And you have to be very honest, brutally honest,

00:55even relentlessly honest with your own games.

00:58Don't try to please yourself with some commentaries.

01:02Oh, this is here.

01:04I made a bad move because, you know, somebody was talking loudly

01:10or my opponent looked at me.

01:15It wasn't very pleasant.

01:17Don't look for any excuses.

01:19It's all about you, about your moves, about the quality of your moves

01:23and better you understand the nature of your mistakes,

01:26better you understand the nature of your game, good and bad moves,

01:31better are your chances of making fast improvement.

01:37While being a professional player,

01:46I had a habit

01:48that

01:49you have to

01:51glance

01:53at your game

01:54almost instantly.

01:56When it's over, you have to analyze it

01:58while it's all fresh in your mind.

02:00You try to understand what's happening in the game

02:02and then you can set it aside because you have another game probably next day.

02:08And then you have to go back.

02:10And you have to find out what did go wrong.

02:15But also, you have to find out

02:17what did go wrong with your opponent

02:19because if you won the game,

02:21it doesn't mean that you haven't made a mistake.

02:22Most likely, it's because your opponent made the last mistake.

02:27And it's very important that you find these mistakes.

02:31Opponents' mistakes and your mistakes.

02:34The greatest danger,

02:36it's what I call gravity

02:37of your past success.

02:42If we win,

02:44we're always tempted

02:45to consider it as a result of our greatness.

02:48We made great moves,

02:50we crushed our opponent,

02:51let's move on.

02:54But I bet you

02:56there is a mistake.

02:59And if you don't find these mistakes,

03:02if you didn't find

03:04what went wrong in your game

03:06before they did,

03:10they will be ahead of you next time.

03:13So to be ahead of a curve,

03:14you always have to analyze your own games,

03:18even if you win.

03:19And that's what I did all the time.

03:21What's the difference?

03:22How do you find the best place for learning patterns?

03:28Studying classical games

03:29always helps.

03:32Because at the end of the day,

03:33it's about patterns

03:34and where can you find

03:36the best place for learning patterns

03:38if not studying the games

03:41if not studying the games of those giants

03:43who have invented these ideas.

03:50I spent a lot of time working on

03:51a series of books called

03:53My Great Predecessors.

03:54And one of the things I discovered

03:56in the process of working on these books

03:59is that

03:59very often

04:01in the crucial moments

04:03of these games,

04:05they made better decisions

04:07at the board,

04:08at the moment where

04:09all your senses are mobilized.

04:12They saw more

04:14and better moves

04:16than

04:17when later

04:20they were in comfort of the studies,

04:23writing books

04:24and making comments

04:25when your senses

04:26are

04:26switched off.

04:29I can

04:29only recommend

04:31to read

04:32these books

04:33because

04:34this is

04:35like an encyclopedia

04:37of chess ideas.

04:39You can enjoy some of them

04:40more than others.

04:41You can like

04:42Morphe games

04:43more than

04:43Steinle's games.

04:44You can like

04:45Kamerblanga games

04:46more than Lasker's games.

04:47You can like

04:48Alohen more than

04:49Batvinik.

04:50But at the end of the day,

04:51you want to be a good player,

04:52you want to improve your chess,

04:54you have to know

04:55all these games.

04:56You have to learn

04:57from these games.

04:58Trust me,

05:00your chess

05:01will be more creative.

05:03It's

05:03like getting richer

05:04because you have

05:06more ideas.

05:07You will feel

05:08these certain things

05:10even beyond

05:11your ability

05:12to appreciate it.

05:13It will be

05:13kind of

05:14subconscious

05:15education

05:16that will

05:17at one point

05:20or another

05:20help you

05:21at a crucial moment

05:22at your game

05:22because many

05:24of these patterns

05:25that have been

05:26developed by

05:26these great players

05:28of the past,

05:29many if not all,

05:31they're still relevant.

05:34You can have

05:35different openings

05:35but at the end of the day

05:36we reach an endgame

05:37and there's certain rules

05:38that will apply

05:39whether the game

05:40was played

05:41in 1905

05:42or in 2017.

05:44to you.
