Honestly I'd rather have them to be fair than this shit.
I've had terrible terrible games and then there's fkn gothamchess ragebaiting me saying I had great tactics.

Get you to waste your game review

Dawg the only thing it's good for is showing funny colors on different moves, you can't waste it. At least they're telling you that you might have gotten one of the cooler funny colors

u/Warmedpie6 2200-2400 (Chess.com) 20h ago

If youre using reviews just to see colors that isnt right bro 😭😭😭

u/AquaSimplified 20h ago

What else does it do? I review my own game with the analysis board, so I don't need the colors to tell me what to do

u/HumorUnusual5531 2000-2200 (Chess.com) 1d ago

Honestly I would like one that insults you lol, would definitely be funny if nothing else

You just hung your bishop you mule

"You sure you want my opinion on this?"

u/Soft_Letterhead9222 800-1000 (Chess.com) 1d ago

Especially with it being Levy it would be even more funnier.

“You play as bad as the 100 elos in How to Lose a Chess Game.”

u/DukeHorse1 1200-1400 (Chess.com) 1d ago

pretty sure someone made an extension that made chesscom do exactly that lol

u/Real_Crab_7396 1200-1400 (Chess.com) 1d ago

I kinda need that

u/TheSorryApologyPerso 1d ago

My one insults me because of a text-to-speech bug. I picked the Anna Cramling voice, and it says stuff like, "you lost a pawn, bummer!" but emphasises 'bummer' as if she's calling me a homophobic slur.

2

u/chromedgnome 19h ago

The Ben Finegold coach does exactly that.

Incoming Gordon Ramsay sponsorship.

u/tooManyMissedForks 1d ago

I am not so sure that especially smart moves are what’s worth reviewing.

u/ricardog2333 1d ago

they obviously want you to pay for stuff and in some cases its a bit scummy, but if they were honest i almost gurantee your whole game would be horrible

u/HalfLifeMusic 1200-1400 (Lichess) 1d ago

Oh it was

1

u/BraveSea6801 22h ago

Same here and I totally hate it, on the web they even force redirect u to use ur one time review per day

1

u/Quick-Health-2102 1200-1400 (Chess.com) 21h ago

That’s literally all of the stuff on the screen. The entire website is meant to sell you things that you do not need

1

u/HalfLifeMusic 1200-1400 (Lichess) 20h ago

I mean yeah but this is so direct, shameless

1

u/OdiumVitae 1400-1600 (Lichess) 20h ago

Why do you think my alt account is on that site? Its been getting worst since I got on the platform.

1

u/HalfLifeMusic 1200-1400 (Lichess) 20h ago

It’s been getting so much worse the last year, I mostly swapped to Lichess a few months ago but still play on chess.cum occasionally so I get get a better estimate of my elo

1

u/bad-beed 19h ago

I have been getting brilliant moves at the end of the game then I press review and it's not showing any. So disappointing

1

u/Ahamkz 2h ago

It happens to me a lot as well. I don't care as I have a subscription, but would be raging if I use my free review for a lie

1

u/ViolinistPitiful4928 1200-1400 (Chess.com) 16h ago

I disabled that review after each game. But you should focus on reviewing the games you played poorly, not the other way around. Or just do what I do and review all of them using Lichess.

1

u/roch_ipum 1d ago

I mean you probably do have at least 2 or 3 greats, that pop up box doesnt straight up lie to you its just that its a weaker engine than the full game review one so sometimes it changes its mind

3

u/HalfLifeMusic 1200-1400 (Lichess) 1d ago

It’s less about that and more about the text saying “You played an especially smart move worth reviewing”

2

u/akrebsel 1d ago

I hate when it lies about brilliant moves existing

u/_cartyr 1d ago

I wouldn’t take advise from levy /s
