How to Analyze Your Chess Games on The Chess Website

The Chess Website provides a chess engine you can use to analyze your own games and get recommendations for any position. It sits in the site's "Additional Items" section alongside a list of other chess resources the site supports. If your goal is to review a finished game, find where you went wrong, or test alternative moves in a specific position, that engine page is the tool to start with. Note that the site also promotes "Unlimited Access" to its strategies and practice games, so some content may sit behind a membership — the engine is described as one of the site's provided tools, not as a paid feature specifically.

What the analysis tool does

Based on the site's own description, the engine serves two related purposes:

• Analyze your own games — feed in a game you played and let the engine evaluate it.
• Give recommendations for any chess position — set up or reach a position and get suggested moves.

That combination covers the two most common review habits: going through a full game move by move, and stopping at a single critical moment to ask "what should have been played here?"

How to use it for a typical review

1. Finish or save your game in a standard notation format (the moves as they were played). You need the move list, not just the final position, if you want a move-by-move review.
2. Open the chess analysis tool from The Chess Website's Additional Items section.
3. Enter the game or position into the analysis interface.
4. Read the engine's output — evaluations and recommended moves for the positions you care about.
5. Compare your moves to the recommendations, starting with the moments you were least sure about during the game.

The expected result is a clearer picture of which moves cost you and which alternatives the engine preferred.

Where it fits alongside the rest of the site

The analysis tool is one part of a broader set of resources. The site organizes its main content into:

A practical loop is to learn an opening in the Openings section, play games online, then run those games through the engine to see whether your opening play matched the principles you studied.

Common sticking points

• You need the move list, not just a screenshot. Engine review of "your own games" implies inputting the actual moves; a single diagram only lets you check one position.
• Recommendations are position-specific. The engine tells you what it prefers in a given position — it doesn't replace understanding why, which is what the site's instructional videos and opening lessons are for.
• Access terms aren't spelled out on the page. The site advertises "Unlimited Access" to strategies and practice games via a Join Now link, but the page evidence doesn't state whether the engine itself requires that membership. Check the analysis page directly before assuming it's open or gated.

If you want a second opinion beyond one engine, the site's "Other Resources" list points to additional chess sites it supports, which is useful when you want to cross-check an evaluation.
