A quick question about the chess.com analysis.  At my level of membership, I get 2 free computer analyzed games a week.  However, online games are usually not as thought out as tournament games.  Is there a way for the chess.com computer analysis to analyze outside games?

Thanks for any answers,

If you have a lot of time on your hands:

1. Write down the moves of a tournament game.

2. Get a friend to play you at live or online chess and tell him to play the moves your opponent played in the tournament.

3. Submit that game to computer analysis! :D

There might be a quicker way...

Benedictus, I think that would be considered cheating by the chess.com rules if the game was predetermined.

And DaPharaoh, I dont have an engine...

 I think if it's unrated and both players agree to the terms beforehand, there should be no problem.

You should definitely get one, if you want to improve. It costs 20-30$, I think.
