Hi, how do I change the game review to the previous format?

I agree. I preferred the old format as well. Anyone know if you can revert?

You can't. Staff are taking specific feedback on the new design and are making some changes based on that feedback but aren't rolling back to the old design.

Thx for your reply, appreciated. Same old story... tinkering when everything was perfect already. Not sure how to give feed back - but if you could mention please - when we review games - with comments (and the comments are not as good as before also! - I don't want to see those green lines of where the computer has judged the best move to be!! Beforehand there was an option to see those 'suggested moves' if you wanted. But they were not included in your review. Overall the new upgrade is not very friendly!

If you go into a review and click the analysis option, then the settings icon there, you'll be abt to adjust it under Interface > Review by disabling Show Best Move

You can also get to that setting option through a regular Analysis board.

OK that sound real complicated, I will screen shot and give it a go. I can't even find my way back to this conversation if you hand't of answered! BTW those green lines are useful in review at the start of the game for sure - case in point my recent loss! - but once you are in the thick of it you have your plan already so the green lines don't match up to what you have in mind. If there could be an easy click to turn off and on the green lines that would be amazing!

If you're on a full browser you can just click the settings icon beside the board to get there.

This is disappointing that it can't be changed back. I was just updated to the new format on my phone.

For one thing, it no longer shows the "you played X opening, from here the common moves are..."

On top of that, I have to click infinitely horizontally with the little arrows instead of easily scrolling through all my moves.

Half the time the little speech bubbles cover the evaluation bar.

Well, unfortunately I paid for a year's subscription when I started playing Chess. On the other hand, that year is going to be up in a couple of months. I was planning on renewing my subscription, specifically for those post game reviews that were so helpful.

Thanks for saving me ~$120 chess.com, as I will certainly not be renewing after this absolute downgrade of an "update".

I fiddled with the options and fixed it LOL Do not ask me how I did it I do not remember and would not be able to easily replicate it! But the arrows do show up somewhere... I quite like the arrows in small doses. Sometimes they appear and some times they don't... but it is possible to fix the arrows so they don't show on the laptop for sure. A real hassle !!
