Analysis via Explorer not working

Sort:

I thought I might share that I noticed that the Analysis via Explorer isn't working.  When I click on the moves, nothing happens.  I have tested in both Chrome and Edge and both fail to advance the position or filter the games based on the position on the board.  

I did report this to chess.com support but got no notice if it was received or not.

I tested and the line loads, it just defaults the starting position. Not sure what you mean be filtering the position; Explorer does that and it's not a feature of Analysis

Sorry for not explaining clearly.  What I mean is that when using Explorer, in the section headed by Starting Position, Select a move below to explore..., clicking on any move to select it doesn't do anything.  It remains white's first move.  

What I would expect is that I am able to select a move, and the games shown below the selector would filter the games to those arising from the selected position; or at least, be able to select white's first move, then black's first move, and so on, to advance through the lines percentages.  But nothing happens when I click in the section under Select a move.

Am I missing something or is this just a bug (or feature? wink)

Additional note...

If I go to Explorer via Completed Games, the selection of moves does work to filter games.  It is only when I enter Explorer via Learn > Analysis > Explorer that the moves don't advance when clicked.

Ah, you're in the app. Which app and version?

Sorry, I didn't mean the app.  I'm on the browser.

If I enter the Explorer via My Games, then it works perfectly.  I think it might just be a programming bug when you enter Explorer via Learn > Analysis.  I've got it working ok, as I mentioned, but it is a workaround.

So, what option are you doing initially when hitting the Analysis Board? Load from Explorer? It does appear as soon as the first move is done, that's what you're analyzing.

UPDATE

Zane from Support kindly reached out to follow-up my ticket.  Before answering I did another test and somehow it is now working for me.  It is no longer not advancing through moves in the Analysis > Explorer and working fine.  Funny, I included a video in my ticket, so I don't think I'm losing my mind, but its now working so there is always some chance it was an issue on my computer somehow.

Anyway, all good.  Thanks for the suggestions.
