Hope you will forgive the biased view, as Gold member Tongue out

I was thinking that may be the Chess.com team could reconsider the thresholds for computer analysis. Currently, a Basic member is entitled to 1 analysis a week, a Silver/Gold to 2, and a Diamond/Platinum to 25. This ratio sounds a bit…weird to me – don’t know what you guys think, but I think it would be lovely bumping up a bit the level for Silver/Gold!

I know this is not a democracy, therefore Erik and the staff will do whatever they think is best, but I would be interested in hearing your opinion on this!

Cheers,

Andrea

Thanks for your post, Sharukin - good point there. I have Fritz 11, so in effect I do analysis with it. But I think it is still very convenient to have a quick run with the chess.com engine, when a game is over...

Thanks again, Sharukin – I guess I will stick to Fritz as suggested, not a bad idea at all!

Thanks also to you, Laporte, and apologies for having preached for my home town, you are spot on there…

andreacoda - yes, it is convenient on chess.com. i use it all of the time :) we don't bump it up more because it is actually quite an expensive feature! sure, you can use free software, but it is easy on chess.com with a simple interface. when i pick a game to run it takes about 20-30 minutes and BINGO - results.

enjoy!

I think the idea is ...

 

Basic - get a taste of the features.

Gold - Have analysis of your real interesting games.

Platinum - Can analyze everything ...

 

From that perspective the numbers are good.
