Overview
After finishing a game, you'll get a pop-up window with the option to rematch your opponent, start a new game, or run the Game Review and see how you did on the game!
On the Game Review screen, you can see various statistics and analyses about the game:
Evaluation Graph: This graph indicates who had the advantage at each stage of the game. After each move, the engine evaluates the position and updates the graph, providing a visual representation of the game’s progress. The Coach provides a brief, one-line summary of how the game unfolded. In the example graph above you can see that it was a pretty tight game, but Black suddenly lost in the end!
Accuracy: This score, ranging from 0 to 100, represents how accurately you played according to the engine’s evaluations. The more you make the best moves, the higher your accuracy score will be.

How do I move through the Game Review?
Move-by-Move navigation: You can use the arrows at either side of the move list below the board to browse moves one at a time.
For faster and easier navigation, you can swipe left or right on the move list. The coach's feedback will be updated with each move.
Next: Tap the green 'Next' button in the bottom-right corner to jump to the next key move in the game.
If the coach's speech bubble is too large and blocks options like the evaluation bar, settings, or self-analysis, simply tap and drag the bubble down to uncover these features.
Here's how you can use the options at the bottom of your screen:
Show
Tap 'Show' to see the computer's predicted moves after yours, helping you understand why a move was a mistake or blunder.
Tap 'Show' to automatically play out these moves on the board and view the notation in the coach's speech bubble. Use the arrows at either side of the move list under the board, or tap the moves inside the speech bubble to go through the sequence step by step.
To return to your review, tap 'Hide', which replaces the 'Show' button.
Best
Shows the best possible move and explains why it’s optimal. The top-right corner of the coach's speech bubble displays your positional score if you had played the suggested move.
After selecting 'Best,' 'Show' will display the continuation of the sequence if the best move had been played.
Retry
Allows you to replay the position to try to find the best move.
After tapping 'Retry', you can request a hint if needed. If your retry move is a blunder, the coach will provide feedback to guide you toward improvement.
