Should you analyse your won games?

or only the games you lost?
thanks

I go over both won and lost games. Sometimes there are errors in won games that one’s opponent missed. Sometimes even in a won game I will have missed opportunities.

Yes

Analyzing losses usually has the higher priority, but if time permits, it does make sense to take a closer look at won games too.

For instance I sometimes play opening lines that are not correct theory, but that go unpunished against weaker opposition, sometimes even give me advantage. So I get used to these lines and play them again and again. But once I play the same lines against a strong opponent, probably in an otb tournament game, these lines are refuted and I lose badly. This can be avoided by regularly checking if opening moves I play habitually are correct theory or at least sound enough to play in real life.

That being said, unfortunately I often find myself lacking the discipline to do what I know I should.

Yes.

Reflektier´ die Partien erstmal im Geiste. Wenn Du Punkte findest, wo Du Dir unsicher warst, schau Dir das an. Resultat ist unwichtig.

Und erstell Dir Flashkarten (Diagramm + Beschreibung des 'Bildes', welches Du lernen möchtest) und guck regelmässig drüber, um das Gelernte durch Wiederholung zu verinnerlichen. Ist wie an der Schule ;-)

Das kannst Du auch z.B. in Scid machen. Ich habe eine Datenbank 'Flash', wo ich mir die Stellung als Partie abspeichere, und für 'Event' gebe ich dann die Beschreibung an. Ich hab zum Beispiel Beschreibungen wie 'Junk-Figurengewinn', 'Damenfang-Umgebung', 'Ätschfigur'. Die Beschreibung sollte das Bild (aka das Motif) möglichst gut beschreiben, gleichzeitig aber auch allgemein für ähnliche Motive zutreffend sein.

If you only went over what you did wrong then idk.
If you know what you are doing right as well then that is a bonus.

In short, yes. Going over them can help you identify your strengths as a chess player, as well as correct any mistakes you made, since even in wins, it's unlikely your game was perfect.
