Game Review Redesign

We've revamped Game Review to enhance your experience. This article will guide you through the exciting new update!

Updated over 3 weeks ago

What changed?

Clicking 'Game Review' will still give you a detailed analysis of your recent game, just as before. Now, it also includes a 'Highlights' page to separate the game overview from the move-by-move breakdown!

Check out this article to learn more about game review: How does Game Review work?

  • Both interfaces show the players' accuracy scores and evaluation graph. However, the redesigned version organizes this information more clearly, making it easier to read. It also integrates the coach's game summary better within the player info section, giving it a cleaner look.

  • You'll also notice the move classifications are now more prominent and easier to read. Click on the arrow pointing down to display all the move classifications in the game:

  • We've made it easier to find the player's performance rating by moving it closer to the top, right after the move classifications. In the old version, you had to scroll nearly to the bottom to find it:

Starting the game review

The new game review flow is similar to what you're used to:

  • To start the move-by-move review, click 'Start Review' on the highlights screen

  • Navigate through the moves using the arrows on your keyboard or the move arrows at the bottom of the game review:

This option is available only when 'Show Best Move' is enabled.

  • To review the game as black or white, click the cog wheel icon at the upper right side of the chessboard, select Interface, and choose Review. In the same settings, you can also turn off 'Show Best Move' if you prefer not to see the best move immediately.
