Computer Analysis Question

I signed up and played a few blitz  games at lichess.org --play was awful but fun.

It allows for computer analysis of your games, with words such as "blunder" and so on.  I found this helpful instead of just analytical lines. 

Is there a software for Mac that helps analyze games this easily for the lower-rated player such as myself?

thanks....I am still stuck on playing against my Mephisto Milano stand alone dedicated computer.  I love it.  I think I better join the modern world, however!  :)

I must say that Milano STILL finds some of the same moves that Magnus and Vishy play in the middlegame!  

Does Shredder do this, and have tactics training, and so on?

Thanks, DKenney

Stockfish won't exactly 'tell' you that something is a blunder or whatever - you will look at moves individually, click the analyze button, and it will spit out (1) a numerical evaluation (2) what it considers the best move and (3) A string of moves that - if followed - will result in the numerical evaluation it generates. 

A positive evaluation score means an advantage for white, negative for black, and the scores are done in terms of material (1.00 being a pawn up, 5.00 a rook, etc. - the usual score will be some cryptic number like -2.44).

So, basically, if you're playing white and the analysis says +.35 out of the opening and then drops to -.55 as soon as you make a particular move, that's an inaccuracy. If you do something that makes the evaluation change pretty dramatically - a 2 point swing or more - that's a mistake - and if you drop 3-5 points, that's a game-ending blunder.

Thank you, Alison. 

My wife loves her Mac. I stay in a PC world because I use chess software daily. I blog chess, coach youth, and suffer occasional ambitions of breaking through into expert class.

One of my favorite chess engines is HIARCS. Alas, I cannot get the most up-to-date version. They release that for Mac. The PC vesion is always a little behind.
