Especially when you don't have a friend[partner who could explain the move/position. farbror: I see you point now ;) Yes, this could be helpful.

You should to all the hard work yourself but it could be usefull to ask Mr Fritz for an opinion on moves/positions where you find no flaws with "your move" which is different from the text move. Training have to be hard to do any good and it should be as similar to the real thing as possible. Sorry, I was a bit vague!

I have a different opinion on your suggestion to let Mr. Fritz to help you finding your move. I am trying to chose a move in any position during training. It makes training very close to the real game when you have to move and not allowed to ask a friend or engine to suggest move at first. It really helps to try to find a move/plan in each position and especially in those ones where moves/plans are not visible at first sight. I know this way of chess training is harder ;) farbror: Thank you for your comment.

Replaying the games on using Fritz in parallell can be helpfull because it might help you to realize that the move you are suggesting might not be as bad after all! The important thing is to chase off the lazy worm and really analyze the position yourself before looking at the engine evaluation. Ergo: I suggest replaying the game using a chess board and occasionally consult, say, Mr Fritz if you cannot find what is wrong with your own move. Did that make sense?
