UPDATE: Game Review Now More Human

Hello there, Beta community!

We're excited to announce a major update to Game Review! Now running on a new engine, its analysis is more human and less reliant on unnatural-looking moves that are common to computer chess. 

We've achieved this by replacing Stockfish with Torch Human, a modified version of Chess.com's Torch. This new version of the engine focuses on selecting, among the strongest moves, the option most similar to what a human would play.

With this update, Game Review's feedback will become significantly more meaningful, relying less on over-the-edge, engine-like tactics. Your coach's feedback should be easier to understand and closer to what a real coach would provide. We hope that the more straightforward feedback makes learning more accessible to everyone.

This change in engines only affects Game Review. Other pages remain unchanged, such as self-analysis, Play Computer, Play Coach, and so on. 

It's also important to note that, for now, you can't choose between Torch Human and Stockfish. However, we'll add that customization to Game Review settings in the near future. 

We invite you to test out the updated version of Game Review and share your thoughts on this post. As always, we look forward to hearing from you so we can build the best platform for you to play, learn, and enjoy chess!
