Let's say you find a public game of interest that ends in a draw. There are still several pieces on the board and it looks to be a complex posiition. So you run it thru an engine and it shows a definite advantage for one side after 1 to 2 hours of analysis.

Should you message the person with the advantage and paste the analysis to let him see, or just let it go? I don't know how they would take it-- constructive criticism or someone just trying to show them up; myself-- I would be glad someone noticed the game and would appreciate trying to help me.

depends on the individual.....


that said, if your only showing them engine analysis then what is the point --- they could just as easily do that themselves

Personally if it took 1 to 2 hours of computer analysis, I am not sufficiently skilled to benefit in most cases and would not care to hear about it. If you could explain a battle plan to win the game that I overlooked, I'd be happy to hear about it. But you probably would need to consider the players likely ability to assimulate your critique. Telling a player rated 1000 how to win a tight end-game involving intricate execution would probably not benefit anyone.

Excellent point! Hadn't thought about that.
