Is there a program that can analyze your game and only show you the bad moves?

Hi, I was wondering if there is a program where you can type in the FEN and it will analyze your every move in the game and tell what were the worst moves you made?

Yes, it could be found at www.Useyouhead.com

Actually, every decent chess GUI (Arena et al) offers such a feature.

Well, actually, if you type in the FEN it won't be able to tell you anything about the game, just the current position.

There are plenty of programs that allow you to analyze the game using a PGN file, after the game is completed.

OK, so I have the program arena, is there a way I could put my finished game in and it would show me what moves I made that were wrong? Thank you for your help and support

Or is there any other program out there that could accomplish this goal?

I use SCId for that.

Its a free download, I suggest you also get Stockfish engine. Once you got that, I (or someone else) can talk you through it

OK, I got SCid and I put the stockfish engine in it, now what do I do?

computers dont always know if a pawn sac ect.was a good move

Ok, first thing, I suggest make a database to keep your games in.

File/New and choose a name.

If you have a PGN with only 1 game:

  1. Copy the PGN to your clipboard
  2.  go to Tools/Import 1 PGN game
  3. A window will appear, paste the pgn in the large white area
  4. Click import
  5. From the game list, select the game you game you want to analyze (at this stage, you probably have only 1 game)
  6. Click opn the engine icon (it looks like a locomotive)
  7. Choose Stockfish from the list of engines, an analysis window will appear
  8. Click on the notepad and pencil icon at the bottom
  9. A popup window appears, I usually set time to 10 seconds (it will catch all blunders at our level) and threshold at 0.5, or 1.
  10. Click ok, you can check progress in the notation window. It will annotate all moves outside the threshold value
