Can anyone recommend a good, web based chess engine (one that doesn't involving the downloading of an interface)?
I used to use the engine on chesslab.com for post match analysis but my laptop is having problems running its java application.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. I checked out the site - it provides an analysis of a played game but nothing in relation to what would be a good next move to make. Or have I missed something?

May I ask please if the analysis of the game above is a function that is available on RHP.
Thanks.

Actually I am with Greenpawn on this one, an engine can tell you a move is numerically suboptimal and it may even suggest what it considers to be an alternative stronger move, but it cannot tell you why, only human players can tell us that.
the best way is to play the game and analyse it yourself afterwards, chess engines analysis i think have a tendency to make us lazy.
Originally posted by SirdubalotThere is a logical process which we go through depending upon the criteria of the position. Most progress I made was when I stopped trying to find moves and started simply to try to understand the position. We have a bad habit of trying simply to calculate moves which is not very helpful for we are not chess machines. If you want to avoid outright blunders consider all of your opponents forcing moves before you make yours, checks first, captures next and then attacking moves and then use calculation to see if your move is tactically sound
My problem is that I try to analyse each move as I make it but still make mistakes.
Many thanks for your reply.

You are most welcome - regards Robbie
Hi Blunder City.
Robbies choice of game really was snatched at random. Not much one do with that.
He gave you a piece for nothing, and I mean nothing, he just gave you
that Bishop on d7 for nothing.
Here instead of his poor 13....Be7 he could have validated his pawn sac/loss
by trying to give up that d7 Bishop with 13....Qb6.
It is Queen winning bait. if 14.Qxd7 then 14...Rd8.
(there is a chance you might have fallen for it with 90+ games on the go.)
You then played a no blunder game chopping wood to go into an easy won ending.
I doubt if the brain slipped out of neutral for that one.
However, I'd cut down that game load, then you will stop having these 12 move disasters.
Don't run this one through a computer. It will build a robot and send it
to your house and zap you with 2 million volts.
How on earth did you miss what he was up to when he played Bd3-c2 and Qd1-d3......Too many games.
