Chess.com has recently released a fantastic new feature, the 2023 Year in Review. This provides some summarised data regarding your year playing chess on the platform, and can be accessed by clicking the icon/logo shown in the sidebar on chess.com website and app.
I go through my reflections and thoughts in detail in the video, but a few snaps shots from the summary!
If you have a diamond subscription this is also a great opportunity to go through the chess.com Insights feature (https://www.chess.com/insights) and set the analytic time window for the entire year! I personally find this tool quite helpful in developing a better understanding of my performance, including identifying things that I didn’t already know.
For instance, things that I’ll need to work on for 2024:
- Learn and practice a more effective response to the French Defense when playing with the White pieces
- Improve identification and avoid missing checkmate-in-one moves
- Improve my use of the bishops – improving my vision of diagonals
Have you looked at your Year in Review and Insights for 2023? What have you found? Please consider sharing your thoughts with a comment!
All the best for the holiday season and have a Happy New Year as we move into 2024!
