Game Explorer link from my own games?

In a vote chess game, there's a link to "Game Explorer" which allows you to go move by move and identify where it deviates from master games.

This would be very useful when doing a post-mortem analysis of my own games, but unfortunately it's not available. Does this look like something worth implementing?

I have the link to Game Explorer. It is just below Analyze and right above Get PGN

It's not there. Is it available to diamond members only? It dosn't make sense, considering that "Game Explorer" is a platinum feature.

Maybe a cache issue? Or browser. I would suggest clearing your cache and trying again. If that doesn't work, post the browser and version you are on and that may give a hint.

I could reproduce it on Safari (osx and ios) and Chrome (win). It can't be a cache issue, I haven't previously connected from the iPhone.

I think I figured it it out. Apparenlty the feature isn't available for games played in the Live environment. It shows for online/correspondance.

Not sure why it ins't available for finished live games.

Yes, that's correct. Quite an unfortunate ommision. I only play live games so the explorer is pretty much unusable for me.

While not ideal, you can still use the explorer to find where you game diverges but will have to do it manually, following the line you took. So it is still usable.
