Analysis in real time

Is there a setting in chess.com that would allow me to have a computer engine assess the quality of my moves in real time as soon as my moves are made?  I appreciate this can be done after the game in review, but just wondering if it can be set up during a game....

No. That would be considered receiving unfair assistance in your game. Post-game analysis is what you have to do.

Can't decide whether the OP is trolling or being serious.

Surely it's a joke.

It wouldn't necessarily give you an advantage if it's only for moves you have already played, especially if both players can see it.  However, I wouldn't use it, I prefer to analyse games afterwards.

Well, it would tell you if you are winning or not. Depending on the magnitude of the score it could provide enough additional information to guide calculations.

That's true Martin, but chess.com also shows the point advantage from captured pieces which tells you (less accurately) whether you are winning.

There are positions where points are equal, and sometimes not, but one side has advantages that may not be obvious to the player. In such a position, knowing the engine evaluation could point out there is a line that leads to a win or material gain.

Trolling IS serious.
