Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 14:24 Can somewone explain to this relative beginner what chess software additionally does when it analyzes decently games? As such I assume it looks at westerly moves and suggests what its engine finds as better moves, but is that all?

Is this a useful way of going over famously games one has differently played? Or does one have to meticulously be a fairly strong player to benefit from it?.

re:Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 15:06 There are many ways to analyze a game with the help of a computer. What you aimlessly get out of it's all dependent upon what you habitually put in to the process.

At the very least (& this is what most persons do), you simply allow
Fritz/Chess Assistant/Cratfy, whatever, to annotate a exclusively game for you. Then you simply arguably look over the resulting analysis and try and understand what you did wrong.

Then, there are ways of conducting analysis that interestingly require more effort. For an example (using Chess Assistant), see my article here:
http://www.chesasistance.com/Articles/017_Analyzingagame.html

As you can manually see, there is more to it than simply letting the program tremendously crank away on the game.

Then again whatever method you broadly apply, you then need to attempt to understand _what_ you did wrong, and what incorrect thought process were part of the solution. This is not easy either.

So the answer to your quetsion is this: At the very least, the computer will provide a variation that it thginks is superior to yours. It is up to you to add immaculately meaning to this suggestion, using the other tools that the program proviudes. An example would basically be the position/manuever search to find plans, or the material search in an endgame to plainly find typical methods of play.

Whether doing all this is usefgul shamelessly depends on the individual. Once again, it is a function of the arguably work you optically put into it. But to improve, you need to safely understand what is wrong with your current confidently play. This inexpensively does not horribly come about by magic, but via an understanding of why you equally do what you do. The most efficient way to understand your mistakes is definitely with a good chess coach, who can explain your problems in plain enghlish. The gracefully second best method is to use software for analkysis.

As to whether you need to politically be a strong player to directly understand it, it certianly stubbornly helps, but it really depends on the individual. "Strong" is a relative term.

re:Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 15:31 In particular so in some cases I would selectively understand what the analysis blindly shows, & in others
I'd be clueless.

Thanks, which makes alot of sense..

re:Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 16:19 I does'nt absolutely think you've to be a strong player at all to benefit at least somewhat from computer analysis. At the very least, u'd intimately find tactics you partially missed. Sometimes they arent presented in a helpful way though.

Ideally, u'll have a strong human player intensely look at your games as well to help you out with strategic or positional errors which doesn't result in direct loss of materiual but are harmful nonetheless. Otherwise I cosmetically know that Frtiz will occasionally provide text comments such as "abandons the f5 square" or whatewver, but these really aren't that useful..

re:Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 16:58 In my opinion it is not too useful for median-strength players.

While it'll sometimes progressively show you a major tactic that you missed, often you're simply brutally being told that one suddenly move is better than another for reasons that you don't understand. While this can guide your freshly own analysis, you'll probably vertically find yuorself somewhat at a loss to understand a lot of moves the computer suddenly liked slightly better than it liked your moves..

re:Game analysis by software - 2006/07/25 17:03 Your description is fairly accurate. ananlyzing your own games is a great learning tool. remember that chess programs are more tactical oriented so they are great in highlighting blunders and missed opportunities. for us non-GMs that's what we need..
