Chess.com Designing a Fun Way to Analyze Your Chess Games

Web user interface redesign for Chess.com's Game Review feature next to a board that highlights a brilliant move

Overview

I led the redesign of Chess.com’s popular analysis feature: Game Review. Prior to the update, Game Review lived within Analysis (left), a feature used mostly by power users with a complex and intimidating UI.

We had a few key goals in mind to make Game Review an enjoyable experience for users of all skills:

  • Make analyzing your game a fun experience from the first click through to checkmate, regardless of outcome
  • Highlight great moves and make mistakes feel like learning opportunities
  • Make Coach an encouraging guide, rooting for you at every move
  • Reduce complexity, remove any UI clutter
