Site update - Review game, updated game & opening explorer

A site update was deployed today which introduced a few features and reimplementations of existing features.

The Game Explorer, a feature that has always been problematic, has been reimplemented once again. The new version is currently being repopulated, but will again include all games, unlike the previous version where only active player's games were included. The only caveat is when searching for the games of an individual, only their most recent 5000 games will be considered.

The Opening Directory has been replaced by an Opening Explorer which features a training feature too. (From the page 'Study' menu, or any page footer. Also, the 'Details' tab for any game that has an 'Opening' section, this will be clickable into the opening explorer.

When viewing a completed game, you can now use the 'Review' feature to analyze your completed game. This is using the Stockfish client based version (running in your browser, not RHP servers), with analysis and some comments on your game. Also, the accuracy of the moves of each player and a performance rating too.

The board interface has received some tweaks too, to support showing badges on the board - annotation symbols shown directly on the board during review. Furthermore, the arrows should look a little nicer now. Remember, you can paint these on any board yourself with your right mouse button, and ctrl key to change the color to red.

And finally, similar to the Review feature, you can use the Analyze game tool for any PGN. You can link off the PGN viewer tool, or just paste in a PGN directly. This feature needs a little some more polish, so more to come on that later.

edit : One other thing, you can link a review in the forums or DMs too, using tag [gidreview].

edit : Also worth pointing out, when reviewing a game, if you click in the graph below the board to change the move, you can then use left and right cursor to navigate the game too.

Thanks Russ.
The review function is excellent.
A great learning tool

A little tweak - any results badge shown when a game is complete is now clickable through to the game review. So, from My Games, once a game is complete, you can shortcut to the review by clicking the result badge (the colored n-n).

edit : Not for live games though, just daily.

Russ, "Comments" in the "Review" feature do not show up in Dark Mode. Is there anyway to fix that? Otherwise, very nice update.

Fixed, and a couple of other dark mode issues elsewhere too.

The dark mode implementation generally is still not where I want it, so expect improvements there in the future.
