GUI/Engine with textual/graphic analysis?

Hey, do you know of any GUI/engines that also offer a textual/graphic description of our chess games, like Chessmaster and now Chess.com used to do, or at least a system that artfully describes the importance of a move to the game? E.g. Fritz 17 GUI (not sure what GUI Fritz 18 runs on), Aquarium, HIARCS, Shredder, each other? Something beyond just numbers on the plus and minus. From my experience and observations, other than Chessmaster 10 and Chess.com, a fairly friendly analysis is shown in Lucas Chess.

"textual" and "graphic" are completely different.  Can you better explain what you're looking for ?  Shredder produces a nice histogram. At a glance you can see where a player collapsed.  A website decodechess.com attempted to offer natural language descriptions of a game.  I tried it once over a year ago.  The output was fairly simplistic but it may have improved since.

    Pray for peace. The Ukraine has produced many good players.

The histogram is one of the elements I am asking about. I mean any addition to the usual enumeration of variations and annotations like "!" or "?", or text colors (blue, red). E.g. here you can see the text commentary (Fritz 17?), but also somewhat graphical (colors of the fields on the chessboard):

I'm looking for something that goes beyond the schematic, allowing to discover the error and its consequences faster (like a histogram), as well as to understand them better (like a text description).

Lichess also provides excellent analysis of the game for free.  Similar to how chess.com is.  The game is annotated with inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders (along with suggested lines).

Can you provide screenshots of what you're looking for?  aimchess.com also provides analysis of games (you can point it to yours or someone else's lichess or chess.com profile).

Very nice! Thank You!
