Learn -> Analysis
I don't see that function under Analysis. For example I would like to see next moves for incomplete games. I don't see that function under Learn -> Analysis.
What would different moves be for this:
learn how to use Chess.com Analysis board, including its built-in 'Stockfish' chess engine for analysis of chess games...

How to load (i.e., copy-paste), view, and playback games in .pgn file format for analysis with Chess.com Analysis board...

Chess databases contain chess game files in pgn format which you can download for analysis in Chess.com (or any other) analysis board......here are several such chess databases..
https://old.chesstempo.com/game-database.html
https://database.chessbase.com/
https://en.chessbase.com/post/using-the-live-database-from-the-browser
note also that pgn files are text files. The text can be viewed in any text file editor/viewer such as Notepad, Wordpad. MS Word, etc. To do so, simply add a .txt extension to the existing file name when it can then be opened with the desired text viewer/editor of your choice...
for example modify the following .pgn file name...
anderssen_kieseritzky_1851.pgn
to this (by appending .txt to the end of the file name)...
anderssen_kieseritzky_1851.pgn.txt
then you will be able to open it in (for example), Notepad, where it will displayed as this text...

If you load (copy/paste) the pgn file into the analysis board it will display this text, and allow you to playback the game on the virtual analysis board, as well as analyze the game using the built-in Stockfish engine. By the way, this is the famous "Immortal Game" - Anderson-Kieseritzky, London, 1851.

Hi,
Can anyone point me to an article or a Youtube video that shows me how to analyze chess games?
I'm new to chess and I would like to be able to set up a position and have a chess engine calculate the best next move.
When I'm learning chess openings and my opponent deviates in a clever way I would like to afterwards be able to figure out what my move should have been. I don't understand the explanations chess.com gives me (I don't know how to decipher it), so a software that's easy on the eyes :-)
Thanks!
