Hi all! Sorry for the frustration with the new version of Game Review. I have migrated everybody in this thread who had a negative experience back to the old version of Game Review (let me know if it did not go through for you). We will eventually be moving to a new design, but will be sure to think through all of your feedback. Thanks as always for sharing your opinions. It helps make Chess.com and the community great!

Thank you for taking our comments seriously :-)

OH pfew.. thanks.. That looks so much better again. Please don't make a new look. This is the best possible you already have. Don't change just for the sake of change because you are just going to get more frustration.

Hello, could you do the same for me please ?

And a couple of friendly suggestions :

- Beta testing should be an opt-in feature.

- I do hope a basic game review will remain available to non-premium (it's not the case currently beyond the one review per day); otherwise chess.com will truly become a "pay to learn" thing, which I find hard to justify for a website with multiple sources of income, especially when there are free alternatives on the net.

Done!

Beta testing is open to anyone to opt into! Just join the beta club

Seconding everyone's complaint about the new game review interface - it's much less functional now! Would appreciate if you could rolled me back also please.

Hi, can it be rolled back for me too. Really struggling to use it now

Same. The new UX appeared for me a few days ago. It's quite strange: unlimited review is one of the selling points for the paid memberships. Why make the feature worse?

Avatar of RobinRound

I just got the new game review today, android mobile, and it sucks.

I too would enjoy a revert.

PLEASE revert me back to the previous as well. Thank you

I pay for a membership specifically to use game review, if this is the future for that feature, then there's no point in having a paid membership for me. It seems like you're getting a lot of negative feedback, and nothing positive. I'm shocked this passed beta, honestly. If I can be reverted, even short term, I'd appreciate it. It not, I'll be canceling my membership.

Thank you for your attention on this issue.

Could you please also revert the UI of game review to the old version for me as well? 

Compared to the old UI, for me the new UI works absolutely horrendously in my opinion.

Below my feedback:

  1. The user's eyes have to move from the bottom all the way past the board to the top for every single move. (Seems like a little thing, but really strains the eyes a lot compared to the old UI)
  2. The next button and the coach bubble take up SO much space unnessarily.
    • The button is way too big
    • The coach head is way too big (and irrelevant).
  3. The bubble holds very little text now. 
  4. The white bubble background is VERY distracting (compared to the dark background which before was standard)
  5. The coach review has a delay before showing up which really slows things down and is annoying when clicking through the steps.
  6. The coach button COVERS the stat bar at the top when there is a bit more text. (unacceptable!)
    • I know you can drag the bubble down if it has too much text and covers other things, but that seems like an unneccesary extra step for a newly created problem.
  7. The coach does not give any advice on lessons to follow after the game.
  8. The coach does not show the improved accuracy anymore after redoing bad moves for better moves at the end of reviewing the game.
  9. It is not possible to click on your 'best'or 'great' moves in the game review overview. Clicking does not go to the particular move anymore (which was a great feature!)

Hope my feedback might help improve it, if the decision is not to revert it back!

Thank you. 
Kind regards

@drittman13 Could you please migrate me back to the old version as well? Thank you!

Please revert mine. I can't believe it hasn't been changed back for all. It is totally unusable

Hi. What happened to the regular rating? The +7 or 8, etc, for a win. Now, the rating looks different. After a win is more points. How to go back to the standard rating, instead of Blitz rating?
