Can My Opponent View The Computer Analysis of Our Game

If I play a game vs. Bob, for instance, and I use computer analysis when the game is finished, is the analysis visible just to me or to my opponent also?

good question. i suspect it's limited to you.

I'm pretty sure it's limited to you -- I wonder, though, if you request a computer anlaysis, and then your opponent subsequently requests it, whether it performs the analysis twice, or if it's smart enough to simply serve up the one you already requested to them.

If it's the latter, it would save both wait times on the user side and server CPU cycles on the Chess.com side.

Its limited to just you, and yes, we are always smart when we build things. :) As long as the search depth is adequate, it uses the same analysis already done on the game if your opponent runs analysis after you have.

These are the things that keep me up at night Jay.

Thanks for the prompt response.
