Do you have specific suggestions?

The previous format was much better.

  • moves breakdown is spaced and hard to read now
  • game rating look less interesting and cold
  • Same for accuracy score, cold
  • have to click to get actual move review
  • running score at bottom? better on top
  • commentary I'm mix with having it in move vs on top of move list maybe score graph, commentary and move list
  • it really looks like a step backward, did any UX designers work on this? No graphic designers, but User Experience there is a huge difference and graphic design is not UX.

^ this.
Stop pushing for mobile formats on websites. There's a chess.com app, keep the "mobile" designs for that.
Some more details:
* Having to click through an incohesive UI in different places to switch between review and analysis (why is it inconsistent ? And not streamlined to seamlessly integrate with analysis).
* Not seeing game accuracy and game rating in the same place as the review (adding more extra steps to see them)
*Huge "Start Review" button but then small "highlights button" hidden after ALL THE MOVES. Who tf thought this was a good idea ?
Your designers are probably still in school or something. No one does this for a good reason. Pay for real experienced designers. No experienced one would make such mistakes.
I work in development and the way you push terrible update without even testing it is...crazy.
Seriously, it makes no sense. Put all the buttons at the same place so i can switch easily without having to move the mouse around at each and every step (yes even for those useless steps that you added if you insist on keeping them).

This is extremely true. I just.. don't like the new game review!

I hate the new review. Especially on the iPhone app. It is superfast, only like 3 moves in the game is highlighted, it loads more than a minute. I loved the old game review, it was the best part of chess.com. I wanted to buy the subsribtion to my father-in-law but now I won't, he'll learn nothing from it, it's frustrating and worthless.
