The chess com engine analysis sucks. It’s too focused on glazing you and not enough on being honest. It certainly feels better than the lichess engine, but it doesn’t actually share more information.
For example, it used to be that a “brilliant move” was any move that you spotted but that the engine didn’t. But now, it’s been changed so that any sacrifice is a “brilliant move”.
Further, the LLM based analysis is also pretty bad. It only seems to explain moves, but like most LLM’s, it actually hallucinates and recommends nonsensical stuff, or incorrectly makes other claims about the position. If you search on r/chess you can find plenty of examples of this:
As an alternative, if you really want that type of UI, you can also use Lichess’ server based engine analysis (you get 40 free per day unlike chess com’s paid stuff):
But it doesn’t tell you why a move is bad. If you really want to learn why a move is bad, the local analysis lets you play your moves against stockfish and experiment and see why they are lacking.
Just learn to use the Lichess local analysis. It’s designed to actually facilitate improvement instead of glazing users and getting them to keep paying.
