How do I use Game Analysis?
Updated this week

Alongside the Game Report, our analysis function provides valuable insights into your games. There are two different ways to get to the game analysis screen:

  • From the game you want to analyze, click the magnifying glass icon ('Self Analysis') at the bottom of the analysis tab

  • If you are already looking at the game review, you can click the magnifying glass icon ('Go to Self Analysis') at the upper right corner of the Game Review page

  • This will open the engine analysis of each move. Clicking on the three dots next to the Analysis toggle will give you the option to enable or disable the evaluation bar, engine lines, suggestion arrows on your board and move feedback

  • Clicking on the computer chip icon ('Run Cloud Analysis') will run the cloud analysis

  • Click the gear icon ('Settings') at the top right corner of the analysis tab to adjust how the engine analyses the game

Details

Engine

You can choose the depth of the game review and game analysis (how many moves deep the engine looks), depending on how deep you choose, the game review can take much longer to complete.

You can also choose your engine for browser and cloud analysis, and the maximum depth and number of lines to show.

Interface

Choose if you want to see on your board the suggestion arrows, move classification, and threats.

You can also choose if you want to use hotkeys and the move strength coloring.

Board

The board tab has the same options as your board and pieces settings.


Charts

  • To see the toggle charts you will need to click on 'Game Review' first and then select the magnifying glass icon ('Go to Self Analysis') at the upper right corner of the 'Game Review' page

  • At the bottom of the board you will have the option to show a variety of graphs

Chart

Details

Score

Displays a graph illustrating the change in score with each move.

Time

Shows the differences in time taken per move, represented on a graph.

Best Move Diff

Indicates the difference between your move and the best move. If the best move is played, no change is shown, and the graph remains centered.

Themes

Highlights the themes present throughout the game. These themes form the basis for the puzzles and lessons recommended in the Game Review.


How do I save my analysis?

  • A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to either add your analysis to an existing collection in your library or create a new collection to save your analysis

  • You will then be able to see your saved analysis in your library!

💡 If you've run the game review on your game, you can revisit the analysis anytime by opening the game from your archive. Viewing the game review again won’t count against your daily free review limit.
