computer analysis

As a basic member I am allowed 1 game analysis per week, they say.  I have been a member over two weeks and have used it only once.  Why won't it allow another analysis?  I have to wait over a week in between even if I have been here a year?  If I had known I would have analyzed some yutz game the first week just so I could get my quota.  I know it is free, but if you say one per week that means one for each week, or should.

Ignoring your highly suggestive title for this thread, you're misunderstanding the service this site is providing. It guarantees you up to one free computer analysis per week, which means that in any given week, you are not allowed more than one free computer analysis.

You don't get rollover analyses credits.

Brandon is correct.  The basic membership includes 1 per week, not 52 per year. Cool If you want/need more then I advise upgrading to a premium membership.

Doctorjosephthomas

Brandon, to correct you(and AM), if you read the post I entered you would see that I did not misunderstand(though you in this case did), as I asked if this was in fact the case.  As I stated, and please attend a little closer this time, once per week (per being the important component in this statement) means once for each week.  Though I understand the difficulty some might have with this, that means 52 weeks DOES = 52 uses.  If that is not what is offered, then that is not what is offered.  Say what you do, then do what you say.  I am NOT being critical of a free service.  Just state things correctly so people know what to expect and everyone will be happier.  As I stated before: if it was stated as offered no less than a week in between uses, rather than incorrectly as once per week, I would most likely have used it earlier on a game of no particular merit just to try it out or get some use out of the service (which is still quite good!)  No complaints about the service or the site overall.  Keep up the good work.

That is what is offered.  If you start on the site on a Monday and use the computer analysis you will then be able to use it again the following week, and so on.  Please explain if this isn't true?

(computer) anal--ysis!

I thought about this too, as a gold member getting 2 analysis per week thinking 104 analysis a year and I was wrong but was hoping in the future this was the case

Doctorjosephthomas

We are not getting anywhere because you can't or won't understand what per means.  We can agree on what the case is, and I feel that the service is fairly generous for the price.  But if you don't know what "per week" means (as opposed to once a week)please learn before posting further. This may help those in distress: Have you ever had a job where you earned pay?  What was the rate of pay per hour?  Did the pay you every hour you worked (every hour, not for each hour)  That is the difference: you most likely got paid on a per hour basis, but paid on a weekly basis. You were paid x per hour's work, but you didn't get paid hourly.  Once a week is not the same as once per in meaning; but it can be the same in practice!  If, and only if, I start on Monday and use each Monday there would be no difference between the service provided and "once per week".  You are talking about once a week, as opposed to a service provided once per week (of membership).  As we have now thoroughly exhausted what is provided, and I have explained the difference( to the extent it should need to be covered), lets move on to something else.

The name of this topic threw me off guard.

If it were comp anal would it help?  Would anyone care>

Doctorjosephthomas,

I'm not sure where Chess.com lists its terms of service, but if they say "one per week" what that translates to, if it doesn't say it already, is "UP TO one free analysis per week".

The same thing goes for the Tactics Trainer. Yes, it sucks to have to wait a full 24 hours each time, but that's the way it goes.

And no, comp anal would not help at all. If anything, that'd probably make it worse. Maybe you are not a native English speaker, otherwise you'd realize what you've done. If you can't figure that out, then I'm not sure how well equipped you are to handle the technical language of a contract agreement =/

uh if you want better analysis and as much as you want just buy Fritz. Its like 50$ and does a wayy better job then this analysis.

And haha at the anal part.

Some people should get down off their lecture throne and learn how english is used. 'Per' can be used to mean cumulative or not cumulative. In this case it meant to not be cumulative i.e. use it or lose it. This means you can get a computer analysis once a week as a free member. Anyone who speaks english as their mother toungue would get that.

really?  anal?

In the online version of Magic the Gathering, there was this one card that was popular among all players because it was a good card that was both inexpensive to obtain and had a fairly unique effect at the time due to the once limited card pool. The card's name is "Deep Analysis" and some players loved calling it "Deep Anal" =/

Doctorjosephthomas

Redlite, yes get down off your throne.  It is used, incorrectly by you and others. English is clearly not your strong suit. Obviously it is not your mother tongue or you are wrong on both your counts. I hope it is not anyway.  Yes, people often misuse words. Is your chess as "thorough" as your research in this area?  Again, I hope not and wish you better success in future.

Brandon: Sounds a bit suggestive for this crowd.

Exactly where do you get your 'expertise' in american english? As this is an american site, it is written using standard usage here, and any american would understand what is being said.

Doctorjosephthomas

I have been an American longer than you and lived there longer than you. At least TRY to get some facts about the people you try to attack and the subject being discussed before embarrassing yourself further here. The fact that you try to excuse your lack of language skills behind misguided ideas about American traditions shows how little you know about either subject.  Stop shaming America with your ignorance and get the chess and English education you need so badly!  Stop trying to drag us all down with you.  Get indignant redlite.  Show us all another area where you fall short!  (America with a capital A next time: or didn't they teach you taht either?)

I think this thread just gave my computer anal.  I hope it doesn't catch a virus! :P
