Settings - Interface - Review

Set "Review as" to your color, it will save on all future reviews!

Forgive my confusion (and my eyesight), but I can't seem to find the interface option in the settings. Could you please point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Sorry let me clarify! If you’re in game review, open the settings modal. Then you should see it. It’s not in chess.com/settings

Hi all! Sorry to hear frustrations with the new Game Review. I will tell you that we are listening to feedback and doing our best to take action and improve on the new design. Tell me what specific features, capabilities, user flows, you miss from the old design and we will do our best to take action! We are close to releasing some updates already that will address some of the feedback we have received.

What do I miss from the old design? Well erhm.. "Literally everything". There is not a single thing better on this new design. If you look at the old and functional design and you try to actually use it instead of misusing us as betatesters, you would quickly find out that there is absolutely nothing better. Please don't let me describe what I'm missing here.. I think "everything" sums it up perfectly without exaggerating at all.

Probably a lot of these will be the same as the opening post, but thought I should try to respond with some detail.

feedback commentry, in fact any text box is on a white box which really jars on the dark theme.

No easy way to go back to the game ratings once you've started a review, apart from refresh the whole page.

I miss the best move box underneath the current move box once in the review, and the display of difference of rating points, showing the comparsion between the two quickly.

I prefer the layout of the older initial game review screen, its clearer and has all the info you need presented in a reasonable space, whereas i need to scroll on the new version to see overall ratings and opening/middlegame/endgame ratings.

Hope that helps happy.png

Hey drittman, One big thing for me was I couldn't see the move info speech bubble on a 13.3 inch screen. I checked this morning and I can now. This.

We have a change coming soon that will help you @gazarak !

Hello! My feedback is that it was fine the way it was before, and now it is worse, and that if you went back to the way it was, it would be good again.

please god do not make me use this new UI. please give me an option to go back to the way it was. this is so bad. all of it is so bad.

Why did you make it more inconvenient to access that functionality?

Don't think that you can make changes to this new game review that will make it better than the old game review. Change just for the sake of change is an "inaccuracy', This new game review in not a "mistake", but a "blunder". Game over you lost!!

the same...

plz return old review

Al-mashina

Now I can not switch fluently from review to analisys and back to show first 3 engine lines for every move, i have to close review and it is awful

The review is now divided into two parts, it's redundant

Not compact view

Move quality table: why now it is not immediately complete, who need for expandable

etc

drittman13

Hi all! Thank you for these responses. Let me answer a few questions I'm seeing

1. How to get back to the Highlights screen that has Accuracy, Move Classifications, Report Card

There is a Back arrow in the top-left of the side-panel. If you click that, then you will go back.

2. There isn't enough vertical space

We have released an updated version of the redesign that provides more vertical space. We are working to further condense other elements where possible.

3. Can't go between Analysis and Review to see engine lines.

If you press the Analysis ison in the top-right of the side panel, then you will be taken to Analysis. Pressing the Review tab will take you back to Game Review

- For me, the main problem is the disproportionate size of the highlights screen (including the "Start Review" button, which is unnecessarily large). I want to see them at once, without scrolling. 
- Perhaps it would be more useful to have tabs at the top to select Highlights, Review or Analysis (similar to the previous design).
- Also, I don't like that the evaluation graph changes position up and down. It would be better if it was always in the same place.
Thank you for considering our suggestions.

Where is the GRAPH for non-paying users? I can't open it now.

You know, the advantage graph.

As you can see from this example you have made the buttons much less visible to the point where people are completely clueless that they are even there. 
Between analysis, details and explore panels those buttons looks always the same and are always in the same place which makes a world of difference when it comes to visibility. They were the same in the review panels but then they suddenly got unnovated some time ago and are now playing a peek-a-boo game with your users. You have to punish those nasty children so they know their place!

My childish feedback would be don't fix what isn't broken and just give us the ability to revert back to the old interface- but if that's not going to happen then my biggest complaint is that when retrying a move (or just clicking 'Best') you used to be able to just press the right arrow key to continue on to the next move that was played but now you have to mouse click the following move as far as I can tell. I'll also say having move classifications split onto a second screen is just annoying to have to toggle back and forth but that seems to be the biggest reason for this change so I'm guessing that's staying. I do appreciate you reaching out for feedback and I don't want to seem like this criticism is directed towards you, I know changes that are this inane usually require a group effort.

Drittman13 thank you for the responses. The analysis button on the top right isn't super intuitive - I preferred when it was a toggle like how you can toggle between analysis, details and explore. It's a bit annoying that the top part of the UI changes when you click game review.

Also, I liked when the best move was visible in text by each move, without needing a click to see it.

Wheres my coach gone? I just get text now, me and him were working so well together, I had an affinity to that guy we'd come so far together recently D:

Please, please, please just revert to how it was before. There is no way this is an improvement.
What was the intention of this new version?
