Share analysis with opponent

It would be great if paying members could share a requested analysis with their opponent. Chess.com could give an X-amount of shares/month for instance, depending on type of membership.

For the member its fun to share analysis, ie when you played a close game or with a friend. Now I sometimes send parts per message but that doesnt work really well. For chess.com this may be a way to get more members as some people might sign up, because they think the analysis is usefull.

     They could call it, "The Skiddles Page"!

El Kitch,

I believe that is a fabulous idea.

The only argument against simply coding a "share completed analysis with opponent" feature would be that the opponent wouldn't have to pay to access the analysis.

But that is not a valid argument because they would only be able to access the analysis from diamond members who chose to share it with them and wouldn't be able to initiate the analysis on their own.

So, with that said, I agree it would probably lead to non-paying members signing up so they can use the analysis feature too after getting a "taste" or teaser of how cool it is when it was shared by their diamond member opponent.

I recently completed a close game with a tough opponent and had the Chess.com computer analyze it.

I shared it with my opponent who couldn't access the link due to being a gold member and not a diamond member.

I downloaded the pgn, opened the file in notepad, copied and pasted it in an email to  my opponent so that he could access it too.

Of course, the opponent can only see the analysis from the opposing player's point of view because the computer scores the total amount of mistakes, inaccuracies and blunders of the player who initiates the request and only lists the other player's mistakes/blunders in the comments and notation.

Exactly! :)

From a business/marketing standpoint, it would also be pretty smart considering the more "involvement devices" you give a prospect, the more likely they are to make a purchase.

Why? And How does this work?

A free member who has seen the product demonstrated personally will know whether or not it is for them  and are much more likely to buy based on that experience/demonstration than from a salespage where they know it is from someone trying to sell them something.

Of all the reasons people buy, the one thing that compels people to buy (perhaps more than all other elements combined), is proof the product works -- because the more believable the bold promise of the benefits provided are, the more likely prospects will reach into their wallet, pull out their debit card or credit card and take the leap of faith.

But they must believe your sales claim to be true.

This is why...

No sales argument can compete with the sales multiplying power of a dramatic demonstration of the product in action. 

And that's exactly what making the share analysis with opponent feature would do for Chess.com 

the computer analysis WAS the reason i became a paying member. i am no longer paying.

what i did not like about the analysis ... that all sub optimal moves get analysed and for a player like me that is almost every move ...

and only 1 line of analysis??

i used to do a "blunder check" in Fritz ... that gives a nice ammount of analysis and also multiple lines of analysis if it is relevant.

maybe Chess.com changed their analyse function and it is like a blunder check now ...  if they did not ...they should add something like it ... for lower rated players like me

yes

Interesting stuff, learningthemoves. I like marketing.

The computer analyses from chess.com should be much better. The evaluation are most of the time ridiculously wrong. Chess.com should therefore first significantly improve the level of the computer analyses.

Hope they do it the upcoming upgrades off the site. Got to say I find it usefull. Even if they are not completly right the do give better lines than I played. But computer analysis should be perfect, so I hope chess.com fixes it.
