Game Review on ChessKid
Game Review helps you learn from your completed games by showing you what you did well, where things went wrong, and which moves could have been better. With feedback from your coach, you can review your game move by move and find new ways to improve!
The number of new games you can review depends on your membership:

Basic | 1 per day. A new review becomes available daily at 12:00 PT |
Gold | Unlimited |
Re-reviewing a game you've already reviewed doesn't use another daily review, so you can return to it as many times as you'd like.
How do I start a Game Review?
After completing a Fast Chess game, click 'Review' to begin reviewing your game right away.
You can also review a previous game from your Game History by clicking the magnifying glass under Game Review to start reviewing.
Both players must make at least two moves for Game Review to be available.
What can I see in Game Review?
Game Review walks you through your game and shows accuracy and move stats for both you and your opponent. Accuracy ranges from 0 to 100 and represents how closely your moves match the engine's evaluations. The more you make the best moves, the higher your accuracy score will be.
Your moves can receive the following classifications:
Classification
|
Details |
| The best move - and tricky to find too! |
| A move that altered the course of the game! |
| The chess engine's top choice |
| Almost as good as the Best move |
| A conventional opening move |
| A bad move that immediately worsens your position |
| A move that missed a tactical opportunity or a chance to punish the opponent |
| A very bad move that also loses material or the game |

BlunderAs you review the game, select 'Next' to jump to the next key move, such as a mistake or brilliant move. You can also select the magnifying glass icon to the right of 'Next' to see the best line for the current position.
If you'd rather review the game move by move, use the arrows on either side of the notation bar to navigate through each move.
On web you can click the hamburger menu to access additional options, including turning off sound, saving the current position, copying the notation, or switching to Analysis.
How do coaches work in Game Review?
Your coach guides you through the review with animations, speech bubbles, explanations, and insights about your moves, helping make the review feel more like play than practice.
You can choose from six coaches:
Pawn (default)
Knight
Bishop
Rook
Queen
King
To change your coach, select the switch icon next to your current coach on both web and mobile, then choose the coach you'd like to use and click 'Let's Go' to save.
