Title: Adding "summary" comments to an analysis
ThreadText: # Adding "summary" comments to an analysis
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-11-07)
  
  When I analyze my chess games for studying, I like to write a high level summary or action items.
  
  For example, a summary of a game might include some positive feedback for myself, as well as constructive action items:
  
  > 1. Good job managing my time. I stayed ahead on the clock the whole game.
  > 2. I need to review how to punish ...Nc6.
  > 3. I could have mated in fewer moves. Review King/Rook mating pattern again.
  
  These are distinct from per-move analysis comments, because they apply to the entire game.
  
  Is there a standard practice for storing this type of information? It would be great if I could store it in a PGN so that I have all my analysis and game data in one file, but I haven't seen something like this described in any of the PGN specifications.

  You can put comments, contained within {}, almost anywhere in your pgn file. The obvious place to put summary comments is in between the header information, e.g. {White "name"], [Black "another name"], and the first move.
