Chesscom's new Game review, what the heck happened?

Sort:
HonSec

I would just like to add my tuppence in case anyone important is monitoring this thread - the new game review is significantly less ergonomic and pleasant to use and the old version was vastly preferable.

Since game review is probably the main reason I pay for membership, if the new version is what we can expect going forward there is a high chance I will give up my premium account.

im back to the old one as well. i think the new one is way better formated for mobile.

is there a way to get the new one again..?

Nothing is identical about the screenshots I posted.

They are identical in function Aetherics don't matter that much.

I'm more interested in the removal of features I wanted, and the addition of a feature I don't want as default (namely, the arrows).

You can turn off Show Best Move in the Analysis settings under Interface > Review

Where is that? Has searched all settings with no success sad.png

It is also very hard to click next or previous moves on Android. Last version it was so much easier to navigate between moves. Please do not fix which is not broken. Bring back the old style.

If you're on a full browser you use the settings icon next to the board.

Hi @peterbago!

Can you give more detail on how you used to navigate between moves and why it's harder on the new Android design? Thanks so much!

I'd like to see the names of openings rather than the piece position. e4 e5 bc4 nf6 is bishops Berlin defence. It used to tell me these things... Is there a way to turn on the opening names again?

Is there a way to enable the old game review mode in android? 
It was more intuitive and better to digest the feedback and great to jump in between moments of the match.
The only thing that I like about the new review mode is that you can setup the deepness of the analysis

Please add a toggle button to allow user to switch between modes

No. If you have the new version you can't get the previous one.

Just wanted to add that I really don't like the new analysis either...

Many of us had it changed back by a kind employee who posted earlier in this thread.

Only rolled out for some.

This new game review surprises me. How can anyone think it's better than the previous one, which was amazing? The new game feels like it's made for kids 10 and under. One of the main reasons I subscribed for a year was the game review, but now I'm looking into getting a refund for the rest of the year.

Yes I was looking to complain the new one is awful. Surely you need to enquire into the competency of people who recommend and waste money on these unnecessary changes. Incredible.

The old review was better. In new review pieces moves too fast.

You can step through move by move instead of hitting the next key move option.

You can also set the delay between moves in the Review settings.

Where I can find this delay time setting on Android? I didn't see it.

In my opinion some few features in this new review are good. The review briefing at the beginning is a good idea. But those fast moves aren't. Let's see if we can set our preferred speed.

Also, I think give the coach more visibility is a good idea.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I would say the New Game Review is trash compared to Old Game Review.

I think the Old Game Review had style, personalization, and I think the AI’s coach comment added a nice tough of class & eloquence to the review.

You can call me a crybaby if you want too, but at least say it correctly!

I’M CRYBABY WITH STYLE!

I don't see much of a difference. Not a big enough difference to cry over.
