Please for the love of God, add the option to analyze imported games and get accuracy percentages and stuff like that...You can do the mentioned with games played on the platform, but there is no option to do so with imported ones. I waited for this update for so long, I really do not see why they do not add it, it is like they absolutely forgot about it...Please consider adding it in the future updates šŸ™šŸ™, everything else is awesome!

I've not loved a digital chess option since Battle Chess on the Tandy 1000. It's fully stocked. I'm learning everyday. I can challenge friends and make new ones. The skill builders like coordinate training and puzzles are authentic. Bring free makes it financially accessible to everyone! I would like to help increase accessibility, some improvements can be made there. This app is a labor of love, and I feel loved by it. Thank you to the people who keep it running!

Drastic improvements to the game analysis board, before I couldn't set up a position to practice against a computer now I can train even better than before. It's sad seeing people complain about an app made this well when it is absolutely free with zero ads and so much educational content. Nonetheless there are still so many undiscovered features and still have to explore, if I see something that needs improving I will definitely update Lichess team. Thank you very much, we love you!
