A common problem for the typical weekend competitor or club player is that his time available for studying chess is very limited. What should he study? Grandmassters from Botvinnik to Yermolinsky have stressed theimportance of reviewing and annotating your own games. Rizzitano shows how by doing that you can gain a greater understanding of your own strenghts and weaknesses, and drawing upon his own experiences, explains how to shape your approach to chess to make the most of your abilities.
