Opinion: reviewing a won game is also good.

People say that using your reviews on a game you lost is better. I don't deny it. But reviewing a game you won is not bad.

Whether I win or lose, I often have trouble pinpointing the moment where the game started to swing in one player's favor. It's not always one big blunder; sometimes it's a series of weak moves that add up, making it a lot less obvious.

And that's why I think it's good to use the review, no matter the outcome, to tell what you/your opponent did right (or wrong).

You can avoid losses if you can figure out why they happened and learn how to avoid it, but how are you going to win if you don't know how you did it?

I totally agree! If you play one or a few openings, reviewing a game you won shows you what works with that/those opening(s). Also, it’s a big ego boost ;)

There you go. Any time I'm getting frustrated, I just look at a game where I played a brilliant move and all is better. And then I go back to getting frustrated, but still.
