Learning From Your Losses
We’ve all heard that you learn more from
your losses than your wins, but that
truism doesn’t help if you shred your
score sheets into the nearest waste bin
after blundering.

chess expert at his peak rating, writes
about the psychological barriers to
learning from your losses, and the most
effective ways he has found to mine
tough games for secrets to improvement.
