Save game review as an *annotated* PGN

Sort:

Can we please have options in the Game Review when 'sharing' (saving) a game as a PGN to add the eval and move analysis (blunder, book, brilliant move, etc.) as annotations to the PGN file?

I really struggle to learn from the games I played - I'm going to blame aphantasia - and the Game Review as it stands isn't really helping me because it's so visual. If I was a visual learner, I'm sure it'd be a fantastic tool. It's pretty upsetting to know you keep making the blunders over and over but trying to learn from these is extremely time-consuming.

Given I'm happy writing software, my plan (from this feature request) is to be able to sort my games (typically my losses) to group the ones where I'm making similar errors in similar positions and as well as seeing these play out on a board I can hear the annotations spoken out loud to explain something like "in this position, you did this (and this), when you really should've done this, because this is what happened but, really, this should have happened".

This is almost within reach in Game Review on chess.com, but there's no narrator-style feature I can see to speak commentary out loud, the "show moves" feature to explore potential lines feels extremely clunky (jarring) to use, and there's no obvious way to group my games by similar positions at the critical moments, or similarity of mistakes/blunders, etc.
