Game Review Difference Between App And Website

Sort:
Absentminded_Chess

I recently had a game that ended in a K + Q vs K. When I use the app's (android) game review, it said 76. Qc2 is a miss because it "lost an opportunity for forced checkmate, but it still gave me a -5 advantage (I was black) the website says I had mate in 11 and called that move excellent. Given how the engine has a lot of time to sort that out, I find it kinda weird.

The app may have run it at a different strength.

does that mean it doesn't check for that in advance? I assumed that's what it did during the long loading time.

76..Qd5 was at least 2 moves faster. That's why 76..Qc2 was a miss.

The game review output is influenced by what device you are running it on. If I do a game review on the same game but logged in from different computers, I get slightly different results as well.

There is a glitch in engines where it was M5, turns to M3, and back to M7

Game Review runs 100% server side. The only difference is what the review strength is set to run at in settings. On the website there are three different choices and the apps only have one strength
