Importing PGN's for analysis

Hi there,

Is it possible to import a PGN for analysis here? I have some games in PGN format I'd like to import in and get a Game Report run against but cant work out how.

Is it possible?

More trouble than it's worth but you could play a friend an unrated game, using the game you want analyzed as a script.

That defeats the point of having the game as a PGN

Hi. Yes. You go in to the players page. If you want to look at his daily games, you press "full stats" under daily games. Then you press the " games" next to "vs all opponenst". Then the last 50 daily games show up. Then you can mark the games you want to examine by the marking little square on the right. When you have marked the games, you press the little download icon at the top right. The games is now downloaded in a pgn file. 

 

Hi buddy, you have it back to front. I already have the games in PGN format. I want to get those analysed by chess.com.

And that's why I wrote "More trouble than it's worth"...wink.png

I bet if you googled free online chess analysis, you could come up with a solution.  Don't know why chess.com doesn't offer it.

Hi Baron, 

You can just go to the analysis board (learn/analysis; or https://www.chess.com/analysis)

Load PGN (paste and click Load) 

And click on Report

@PerpetualBlunder after I import a PGN (paste and click Load) I do not see a "Report" button to click on (see attached image)
- can you explain?

I'm guessing the interface had changed in the last 15 months

Thank you for the suggestions @BaronVonChickenpants and @manekapa. I would find it strange @BaronVonChickenpants if an interface change simply removed functionality. In any case, I tried something entirely different that got the result I desired: (at least for me) I found that when I pasted a single game's PGN and loaded it, the "Game Report" button appeared below the moves list / above the "play" button. This behavior is in contrast to the image I pasted in my previous comment, in which I pasted 3 games' worth of PGNs and loaded them. It's interesting that the system is able to parse the PGN into separate games but for whatever reason doesn't behave quite the same way regarding generation of Game Reports. Thanks again! I hope this information helps somebody else someday!
