However, my favorite feature is the Post-Game Computer Analyses because I believe that it is the most helpful feature on this site. That is because it allows one to look at his or her mistakes and remember what the person did wrong so that he or she does not make the same mistake. Therefore, It is a learning experience and helps one to improve his or her chess games.

It is important to know that the computer is just one perspective of analysis, multiple lines of continuations for example can be just a matter of taste as well. But yes very useful tool indeed by gameknot!

It will flag a tactical mistake or blunder, but time and again I've seen GK computer evaluations where one side makes a horrible positional blunder or anti-positional move, usually leading to position just as lost as if a tactical mistake had been made, with no indication from the GK computer analysis that anything was wrong with the move. There's more going on in the game than just tactical evaluations.
