Overview: the mission of this group is to create a place where members give and receive thoughtful, well-considered advice and analysis of their games. By being a member of this group, players are making themselves available to be contacted by other members for help in analysing games.

There are two methods for having a game analysed: Formally (in the Analysis forum) and informally.

Formally

1. In order to have a game analyzed, members must first agree to analyse the game of someone else in the group. To do so, reply to the most recent unanswered post requesting analysis of a game.

2. After this, members may post a game to the forum for analysis. In order to post a game, see http://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/how-to-post-a-game-for-analysis

3. When posting a game for analysis, include some kind of analysis of your own game (annotate all or most moves, indicate areas of concern, post questions about your play, etc.). Do not include your opponent's name in the post.

5. When posting the analysis of a game, respond to the original thread in which the game was posted for analysis (see "Sample game" in this forum for the pattern). Other members should feel free to further analyse and/or comment

6. Try to complete the analysis of the prior poster's game within one week of posting your own game.

7. Please make your analysis helpful; the golden rule should be to provide an analysis that you would find useful for your own games.

8. For each game of yours that you would like analysed, members are required to analyse the game of another member in the way described above.

Informally

9. Alternatively, members may contact another member to request analysis outside of the Forum.

10. By being a member of the group you agree to be asked for informal analysis. There is no obligation to carry out informal analysis.
