How Do I Find My Blunder In the Analysis?

I don't know how to get any useful information when I click on Analysis.  The computer says one blunder was made, for example, but I can't find it.  I want to know if it's my blunder or my opponent's.

It seems pretty clear to me. Here, your opponent made a blunder.

If you look at the score, the blunders are marked in red.

Yes, I see the blunders highlighted in red.  The analysis does not indicate the move.

You may have your setting set up differently. Or you may be on mobile rather than PC.

I'm on the PC.  No settings were changed.

With the default settings, Blunders are marked in red, recommended moves in green, inaccuracies in orange, etc.

Thanks for the info, but I'll have to study the analysis further.  It would be good to see the moves on the board, rather than set up a real board and make each move.  The analysis gives a start in the right direction,

 Not always, I had to manually set it to  highlight blunders, good moves etc. through settings.  (those little eyes were crossed off somehow, I had to uncross them)..Happened to me a month or so ago.

Thanks.  I'll look at the settings.  I do see the Best Move, but the blunders don't show up.  There is only a reference made to blunders.  I'll try anything to avoid the real board routine.

For those interested, I have set up a small, free app exactly for this occasion. I called it the chess blunder trainer, and it analyzes your own games to identify your blunders. Then you can replay the position in puzzle form to find better moves.

You can try it in the Google Play Store via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cbt.chess_blunder_trainer

You can find out more about the app here: www.chessblundertrainer.com
