Hi! We're putting together an article to give a little more background/detail about Analysis, and to address questions that have come up as we've gotten familiar with the new features. What would you like to know more about? 

- how the player Accuracy score is calculated
- how moves are classified (Mistake vs Inaccuracy, etc.)
- how game type is determined (Sudden, Rough, etc)
- what search depth is used by the engine
- how to learn from Analysis features...
 
Other suggestions/questions? Thank you!

Thanks DG!

how accuracy is calculated (e.g sometimes i have many mistakes and high accuracy, and sometimes low accuracy and few mistakes)

What's considered a missed win? From previous answers I got, it seems like it's missing a hanging piece. In German it's translated "Verpasster Sieg" which means "missed victory" rather than "missed win" in the sense of win material, so it can be confusing.

I'd also really would like the option to switch between inline notation and tabular one.

It's be also nice to have missed forced mates displayed. Does it also count as missed win? Maybe it could be counted separately. Basically when the evaluation gauge goes from M5 to +14 or something to count it as missed forced mate.

I would like to know how you calculate Accuracy and how deep the engine is searching. Also it would be nice to know how bad a move has to be below the best move to be considered a mistake or a blunder.

How game type is determined...that would be great to know, I am curious about that.

A FAQ that more or less tells you the meaning of the moves eg -

Brilliant == You're Bobby Fischer, we worship you. 

Best Move == SF is better than you but we're keeping quiet,

Excellent == ok, we see your point,

Good == we're being nice to you but you really need help,

Inaccuracy == Ok, did you not see "Good",

Mistake == we're so sorry for you, see our tactics puzzles to see if you can somehow improve your game. We don't think so, but we like being nice. 

Blunder == why do you do this to yourself, here's a link to checkers.

 

Note, i usually end up with at least 3-4 in the last category.

 

Cheers

The Sudden/Rough Question is the very hard to define, and the word that comes up like that is "Wild". A Wild Game is one where considerations such as Material, Position, Pawn Structure, and King Safety and pretty well any form of Caution is thrown to the Winds. Sudden and Rough would be subsets of Wild I would presume.

Lol, Thanks for the very realistic levels.  One problem, there is no link for checkers.  Can you please fix this? Thanks!  XD

Brilliant is making the best move out of someone's inaccuracy/mistake. Like spotting a material gain 4 moves ahead.

The one brilliant move I managed was the moment I trapped someone's rook with two bishops
