Can you use chess.com to get computer analysis on games you did'nt play on it?

The one way I can see you doing this is if you made another account and 'reenacted' it on the live rooms so that you'd just be able to submit it as normal. I think there is a distinct possiblilty that there will be a site regulation against this which is why I ask first (making multiple accounts is'nt usually encouraged).

And if this is not allowed is there another way?

You're correct that making multiple accounts is likely to get you banned from the site.

The only way to get an analysis of an externally-played game is to play through the game as unrated (or takeback) with a friend, and THEN get it analysed.

Using TAKEBACK mode, it is easier to correct mistakes. You can also apply CONDITIONAL MOVES to speed up the game.

Ok so instead of another account I need a willing volunteer. Thanks

Wow! artfizz, that's a creative solution. But it requires a collaborator. And I wonder what Erik might have to say about that. If it is within site standards, then that is a great idea. I've often wondered about that.

Get the person you originally played against to sign up to chess.com - then replay the game with them! That way, chess.com gains a member and you gain a referral point. Wink

I think that this is too much hassle. He should just save up a few dollars and buy himself a copy of fritz or Rybka and have as much "free" analisis by a wold-class engine as he pleases.

Another good idea from artfizz! That has to be legitimate.

 Unfortunately I was hoping to get analysis on games I played against the computer ;) but yes that is a good idea

 Of course you are right, that would be the ideal solution. However I am actually not that bothered about computer analysis, I am not sure I would want to own Rybka or Fritz. I was asking mainly out of curiosity.
