Which premium membership to get?

Hi all, I hope this is the right category to post this.  I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a good answer that's recent.  I am looking to get a premium membership but I am not sure which level.  To me the value seems mostly in the unlimited puzzles and lessons, and so I am thinking to just get Gold. 

I was considering Platinum, however, as the game reviews seem like a good investment.  But after a little research it seems like the game review function is not very good and gets things wrong, or at least it was.  Has it improved? Could I not just get the same benefit from using the analysis function after each game? Does the game review have any advantage over that? My rating is 1200 for reference. 

Lastly, I don't fully understand the benefit of going for the Diamond membership. Is that something worth considering? Thanks in advance.

I think you can run the Game Review now and see what it is like.   I don't think it is true that it is often wrong.   You can certainly find examples where it is wrong but nine times out of ten, it will point out things that you never noticed.

Usually gold is best unless you spend loads of time on chess everyday. It gives u basically everything u need and definitely enough to improve quickly.

Thanks.  I run the free game review every day.  I am just curious how people here feel about it compared to just using the analysis function.

The game review is sometimes very useful usually for beginners but later on it’s kinds useless

Hmm,  I think it's very helpful for reviewing the games and quickly spotting where the game is decided.

For example:

It looks like you didn't review this game.  I think that pointing out that your move left you open to a forced checkmate is kind of useful.  Fortunately for you, your opponent missed it too.  (It was a mate in 9 but the idea is pretty obvious.)

I cant review all games I don’t have any premium. Also I’m not yet that good at chess so game reviews r still really useful for me. I can also see a massive improvement in my games just from doing 3 puzzles a day and a few lessons.
