To be honest, I use the analyze game feature to play out every possible permutation I can think of (my skill level limits me in this regard, obviously). I measured this set of moves several times to queen my pawn before starting the process. OTB, it would be very difficult for me to process that many variables.
I believe he's referring to the analyze game feature within the Chess Time app. Basically just a free board where you can move pieces without it impacting the game.I use this occasionally to help see how things will look a few moves ahead. If this is frowned upon I will stop.
No- he meant he did that AFTER the game was over- right Otello? Please tell us you didn't use a program to analyze your moves during the game? Because that would be cheating, of course...
No, it's ok to use a free board, IMO. So long as you're not getting advice.
This would explain why we've had a game going for a month now and we've only finished like 10 moves. I tend to take awhile analyzing moves too.
. I have another site that I use on my laptop to play around with rather than using the analyze game feature, when possible.
Yes, it's a free board right within the app. Click on "action" and then "analyze game" and it takes you to a board where you can play around with the current position. It does not render advice. I use it from time to time as well.
You are right about the legal moves.This would explain why we've had a game going for a month now and we've only finished like 10 moves. I tend to take awhile analyzing moves too.
My problem with the analyze game feature though is that it doesn't limit you to legal moves. I've done some analyses where I've totally missed that someone was in check for like 3 moves
My issue with this is that it's NOT the same as two guys sitting down to play chess. It can take a full day sometimes before an opponent takes their turn. For me personally the free board often helps me get back on track with what I was planning to do.
True. And the point about correspondence chess is also true. I guess I'm ok with it, but we need to make sure everyone knows. I had no idea this even existed.
I had no idea.
I think it's too hard to police. I say we allow it but we just have to make sure everyone knows it's ok.
I'll stop using the other one. Only reason I use it is because it's easier for me to analyze from an internet browser with a mouse than on the ipad/iphone touchscreen.
We're progressing
Yes. Joffer just took the lead. Gonna be a tough end game.
