That's more challenging that I'd like. What I found is it's better to just keep it simple. Calculation? Tactic? Endgame? Opening? You'll find the pattern eventually, but no need to be super specific.
Also, I'm still in the process of compiling a full list. I think I'll need about 20 serious games (just my guess) to get a "valid" sample. Let me know what you do.
Dr. Vasquez , thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to compose another insightful article. The references and chess books you mention are outstanding. Finding outside and neutral sources to critique and help analyze one's game at a higher level is also crucial ie: obtaining a "coach". Finding the "right " coach is also important in our chess journey....:)
Brilliant post Nick!
Great post and it's nice you share your list of mistakes too !
I love the idea of keeping a list of my mistakes. How did you come up with the mistake categories to use?
