I mainly look at where I went wrong and why and what I would/should try if the position does come again! I have so many games played and in a chessbase format that I only have about 1/3 or 1/4 analysed, yet! It takes days/weeks to analyse one single game, using Fritz 5 (now that I have it!) to help spot weak moves and suggest new ones... Serge Desmarais
