Hi all,

I've just seen the analysis made by chess.com and I've to admit to be impressed. Perhaps there's something better but I find it to be useful to learn from your own errors.

Is there a free or commercial software available that makes something similar from .pgn of played games ?

thanking in advance

PS
I made a research in this forum for similar questions, I've not found anything

i believe a good, free chess engine for analysis is called stockfishchess

hope that helps!

thanks for the correction, i wasn't 100% sure about the stockfish (chess?!?) because I rarely use engines.  thanks for the info as well

boastd

thank you all... 

google is our friend, writing stockfishchess is enough to obtain the correct web site... now it's my time to find out which engine is better for post-game analysis, I'd love to read my games with the punctuation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation_(chess)) like ??, ?!, ... just like chess.com's anaylisis does

BTW, I challenge you now :-) feel free to accept or not

The "punctuations" are not the engine's job, it's the GUI that generates them using the engines' numerical evaluation. Arena is a GUI for example.

Houdini, Firebird and Stockfish are all very very strong chess engines and free. They can be loaded into a free chess program called Winboard. Just type these names into Google's search engine to find out where you can download them from.

i believe the most popular (strongest?) engine is firebird

boastd can you link me to this free software that you've find?

i have arena and it works for me.

I haven't find anything useful yet.

I do not use windows, and I cannot find a good platform (i.e. GUI) that makes a good analisys. 

Arena and Winboard are for windows. Jose is multiplatform but it's not stable at all.

But I've still to download and try all the engines here nominated.

thanks to everyone, I'll post my comments

if you dont use windows youll have a very hard time.

If you don't use windows, you can still have a reasonably functional computer. By switching to windows.

What you don't use Windows?  Sorry for you, my friend.

I am almost certain SCID has a version for LInux.

It's better than Arena anyway, IMO

well, we could start an [un]holy war...

I use linux and OSX, better OSes than win by far, but it's not the right place to discuss this.

Crafty and Stockfish are good engines,
but my initial request isn't for a chess engine, is for an Analisys program for, well, analyze games once they're ended. Try the analysis tool of this web site!
Blunders, good moves, and, most importantly, the "you-should-have-done-these-moves" part Smile  

 

Philidor_position noted correctly that: The "punctuations" are not the engine's job, it's the GUI that generates them using the engines' numerical evaluation. Arena is a GUI for example

 

Perhaps there is some option of stockfish/crafty/other engine that provides this analisys, but reasonably, it's a GUI that allows that.
