Edit 8/2/21 Changed to always be Black's Review


This may be new or it may have been this way all along. In any case the review process should default to the game player's perspective, If I played the Black pieces, then start "Reviewing as Black"

The bug:
Review always starts "Reviewing as White".

Here is an animated gif showing the issue on a game where I played the Black pieces:


The Fix:
Set the Review process to initially be the color of the player review the game.

For me it goes to white when I am white and black when I am black...

+1 - I also experience the game review defaulting to white when I'm on the black side.

A fix- Click on the 'Reviewing as White' button. A dropdown should come and will let you choose between "Reviewing as White" and 'Reviewing as Black' buttons

eg. ImageThis is what you will see when you click on 'Reviewing as White/Black'

You are missing the point. If I played the Black pieces, when I review the game the review context should already be Reviewing as Black.

Really? Check again. It previously behaved correctly, but not now.

i just had the same thing happen but it stayed from whites perspective even when i selected black.

Behavior is now always defaulting to Black's Review.

I have tried using the feature twice.

In both games, I played as white, but it defaulted to black.

After one or two moves, I noticed what was wrong, and switched to "Review as White", then, when retrying my first mistake as white, after I made my move, an error message appeared saying "User not allowed access to analysis", the evaluation of my new move would not load, and when I refreshed the page, It told me that my daily analysis limit had been reached and would not load, even though I had already analyzed!
