Chess.com is excited to announce the launch of new features in Game Review, our post-game learning tool. Game Review now packs in even more features that will help you understand your games, learn from them, and enjoy your best moments!

Below you can learn more about the most significant changes:

You now get a report card at the end of each review assessing how you played the game. The first thing you'll see is a summary from your Coach on how the game went, followed by your performance ratingan estimate of your level of play based on that single game.

Finally, you'll get grades for each phase of the game based on your opening, middlegame, and endgame play. Grades are displayed as move classification icons, from to . Hovering over the icon, you can see your accuracy for that specific part of the game. This should help you get a sense of which part of the game you played well and where you should focus in case you want to improve.

Sometimes Coachs feedback can be hard to follow, especially with so much going on. You can now have Coach draw arrows and highlight squares over the board to help you understand his advice. You can do this by hovering over or clicking on the highlighted words in Coach's explanation of a particular move.

This feature will help you instantly visualize the pieces, tactics, and ideas that Coach refers to, making your review experience easier to navigate.

We've recalibrated the "blunder" classification to make it more meaningful and useful for you. Now, a blunder must not only drop the position's evaluation significantly but also lose material or allow checkmate. This also aligns with how most real-world coaches would describe a blunder.

We're also introducing the "miss" classification for other types of mistakes. A miss happens when a player fails to take advantage of a tactical opportunity, find mate, or punish an opponent's bad move. These are good opportunities to review: you can treat them like puzzles from your own games!

We have completely overhauled our book move database to align it with well-known opening theory. We've added known opening moves to the "book" classification and are removing moves that are bad. With this change, you'll get a more accurate sense of how well-versed you are in your favorite openingsand which openings you could study more.

Identifying threats against you and creating threats to your opponent is extremely important in chess. Coach now helps you to see all the threats behind each move and whether those threats are prevented or allowed. He will also mention specific pieces, so you'll know if he's talking about a knight, a bishop, a rook, or any other piece.

Play a game and use the new version of Game Review to enjoy all the new features! Once you do, let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Welcome to "One Move at a Time," the show where we highlight people and organizations that are advancing our US Chess mission statement to "Empower people, enrich lives, and enhance communities through chess." Show host Dan Lucas, the Senior Director of Strategic Communication at US Chess, talks today with GM Maurice Ashley, who is inspiring a new wave of chess players. In 1999, Ashley earned the title of Grandmaster, the first Black person to do so. Since then, he has become a prolific commentator, covering every class of elite chess. Ashley says his goal this season is to introduce chess to more kids, especially in underserved areas.

Ashley is planning a first-of-its-kind chess tournament for Historically Black College & University (HBCU) students on April 22 in Atlanta. The one-day Swiss System chess tournament aims to create excitement around chess, funnel more Black students into the chess ecosystem and create a hub between other schools.

You know how states have "Official" rocks, plants, state animals, etc.? What if I told you North Dakota lawmakers have been working on designating a sport to our state.

As of now, 17 states have an "Official" sport. Alaska has dog mushing, California has surfing, Missouri has archery, New York's is baseball, and the list goes on and on.

The sport being considered for North Dakota is unique, as no other state has it designated, according to Inforum.

What Sport Is It?

This sport has been called many things: Chess on Ice, Game of Stones, The Roaring Game, but you probably know it as Curling.

The concept behind the game is to slide a stone from one side of the ice, to the center of the circular score zone. The scoring area is called the "House."

Typically there are two teams of four that go head-to-head, this according to The Washington Post.

North Dakota has 11 curling clubs, making it the state with the most per capita, according to Inforum.

According to the Bismarck Tribune, the first curling club was created in Drayton, North Dakota more than 120 years ago.

Making North Dakota's Official Sport Official

Senate Bill 2229 proposes that we make Curling the official sport of North Dakota.

Last Wednesday, (March 15th) the North Dakota House of Representatives voted in favor of the designation 72-21.

What's Next?

At this point the only thing we're waiting on is Governor Doug Burgum to sign it into effect.

What do you think? Should Curling be North Dakota's official sport, or do you think it should be something else?

Here are some individuals who graduated from the University of North Dakota and went on to do some pretty impressive things.
