There is another thing I did not like.

Before all moves are marked with an icon, now only key moves are marked.

For me was interesting see a review for overall sight. Even only key moves stops for moves for detailed review, it was possible to notice one or another move that was interesting for us to go back and review again.

You can change that in the Analysis settings by changing Move Strength Coloring to All Moves 

Could you please send us a screenshot? I can't find anything what you say. I'm using an Android app.

Ah, that's not an option on the Android app, at least not in the move list. The do show on the board.

Yes but of course you can't see the board while navigating. It used to be nice to see where your driving.

I can see the whole board while using the arrows to navigate or key move button. Just not the full move list.

I can't. I'm using an Android tablet. It's a pretty popular deviceI think.

Just scroll down then scroll back up. Keeps my clicking finger strong.

I'm using a Pixel phone on mobile optimized web. Is your tablet loading it in Desktop mode?

Do you see? Even this new layout could be cool or stylish, it is less useful, so it has less value for users. For me, at least, the main reason to have Premium Chess.com is unlimited revisions. That is (or was?) the best thing on the plan. If you say to me that if I like the old style is better to use only the self-analysis, this diamond plan worth nothing.

This must be a joke... No recommended lessons on the bottom of the screen, can't tap for example on a missed move and It showing the actual move like before, no in-deep explanation by the instructor of what move you should have made, the pieces moving at lightning speed... I WANT TO BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO ROLL BACK TO THE OLD GAME REVIEW!!! This is another example of chess.com fixing what doesn't need to be fixed and ignoring the actual issues that should be fixed. This is just awful. I'm considering ending my premium subscription for good!

The coach doesn't recommend lessons anymore? For which reason they did this? It doesn't make any sense.

How can you change it back to old review style?

If you're on the new version, you can't go back.

Staff are tracking feedback and making some changes based on it.

Thank you for your attention on this issue.

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. 
    The white bubble background is VERY distracting (compared to the dark background which before was standard)
  4. The coach review has a delay before showing up which really slows things down and is annoying when clicking through the steps.
  5. 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.
  6. The coach does not give any advice on lessons to follow after the game.
  7. The coach does not show the improved accuracy anymore after redoing bad moves for better moves at the end of reviewing the game.
  8. 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

New game review is awful... the old one was perfect... why???? It is sooo annoying. The feedback covers the ELO bar on my phone plus many other design issues... Please bring back the old one!!!

Betorfc

Please go back to old review. It is a shame... !!!

KimboMilhamo

Please bring back the old game review

@Martin_StahlHi Martin, you previously reverted some of our game reviews back to the original which I appreciated. I could not find the comment where you said you did this, assume deleted to cover tracks happy.png.
Now, my game review has reverted back to the new version. Ouch, it's even uglier than I remember. 
Can you please revert back to original version, or provide details of claiming refund of unused portion of my membership, thank you. 
May I make a suggestion: when rolling out a big, new feature like this, it's good to provide a 'tell us what you think?' link. These new changes were just thrust upon your subscribers without warning or consultation. Like many on here, discontinuing membership is a serious consideration.
