No Computer Analysis on Game Analysis Board?

Not having a computer available on the game analysis board is a big negative IMO. Sending the game off for a 24 hour analysis is overkill in many cases. Would prefer a computer program at least to be available for a quick game analysis. Right?

You can download Arena or fritz.

After using the computer analysis, I like it. It takes a while to get it, but once it is complete you don't have to wait for the computer to process, it's all done.

I do think the moves should scroll down automatically as you move through the analysis. Rather than having to be done manually. Other than this, well done!

See my blog post on Chess here.

It takes too long to get a game analysis. This is the biggest weakness of this chess site.

How come it can't be analyzed on the spot? I don't see why not...

It would be too expensive for chess.com to analyze multiple games at the sam time, when you could download arena for free, and do a much better analysis.

How do you download Arena? Are there instructions somewhere? Thanks.Smile

Thanks for the help. I downloaded Arena.

Question: how does Arena keep score? It doesn't seem to use the negative black is ahead and positive white is ahead system. I can't find anything about it in their help section...

It us quite weird, it score is in respect of the colour to move. So +.5 when it is white to move is advantage white, whereas +.5 when it is black to move is advantage black.
