? Still, I'd be interested how long it takes other people to review their
? games.

I put my games into chessbase as soon after I played them as I can, and try and record what I thought at the time and what variations I had actually seen during the game, and what we discussed afterwards. I have also started recording how much time is left at various points in the game and I note this into chessbase also. This takes about an hour. Then I go through and think about what I should have done in retrospect, then I check the opening book, and finally put Fritz on it. So thats at least another hour.

If I conclude that I had no idea what to do in a position then that could lead to further study of other games in the same opening. The hardest thing is sometimes knowing exactly why you went wrong and how to avoid it in future. You could potentially study them for hours. But after a while you want to move on to the next game .....
