Please Bring Back the Auto-Play Move in Analysis

Hi Chess.com team,
I noticed that the “Play”  button in the Custom Position Analysis section has been removed recently. I’m requesting the return of a feature that was recently removed from the analysis board. Earlier, there was a Play button (▶️) in the analysis section that would automatically play all the moves like a GIF animation—showing every move from both sides smoothly, one after another.

This feature was incredibly helpful for learning because it allowed us to:

  • Watch the whole game flow automatically
  • Understand ideas faster without clicking every move
  • Review openings and endgames like a replay
  • Study games visually, which is great for fast learning


The new system requires clicking moves manually, which slows down the learning process a lot.

So, I kindly request Chess.com to please bring back the automatic “play button”   in Analysis mode. It was one of the most useful tools for players trying to study efficiently.

Thank you for considering this!

My understanding is that was removed by design, though it may currently only impact the Beta.

When will the final version be released? Now these buttons are only visible; there is no play button.

I would sometimes accidentally click that button and, no matter how fast I spammed back, it would keep scrolling forward past the moves I wanted to review.
If it gets added back, maybe make it easier to cancel
