Chess Game Review | "Coach Explanations"

Hi Chess.com Community,

I was just wondering, could anyone explain to me what exactly the "Coach Explanations" feature listed in the Diamond Membership perk is? Is it same to the "Unlimited Game Reviews (plus explanation for diamond membership)"?

Because I've compared game reviews on the same game on my upgraded account and my normal one and both of the reviewed comments are practically identical.

Am I missing something like a setting or feature somewhere?

Kind Regards,

ekikAn

Coach Explanations are the "explanation" you have mentioned in bold. It's full text of why the move is considered whatever classification it is. A basic member gets one full Review with Explanations a day and any after that won't show explanations.

 

Here is an example of basic on a second Review:

And the same example from a diamond member.

Oh, so the free members get the full review once a day, and then nothing,

But then the members without Diamond but with a lower one would get the evaluation (Great Move etc.) but no explanation, and then Diamond gets the "This defends a piece that was under attack..." part,

That's interesting,

Thanks for the clarification! If I've comprehended it correctly.

And I just realised I replied with my other account...

But thanks!

i just got diamond and i was spending like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to use the coach. I know how to go into game review and once i click the move no coach pops up. Any help here?

The coach is the the Game Review text/explanations.

Wait. ekikAn and NukeUa are the same person but playing games against each other? I thought that was illegal.

I’m still trying to work out if it is worth getting the top tier Diamond subscription to access unlimited coach explanations. How does this differ from unlimited game reviews which is available on the much cheaper Platinum version?

Move explanations are text descriptions designed to explain the reason behind many of the moves.

Thank you - the move explanations seem to be part of the game review that I get on the free tier membership?

The daily review for basic may include the explanations, though I'm not 100% positive.

I just found this which explains all the options!
