Review your games, find the moments that mattered, understand your mistakes, and turn each game into something you can learn from.
A win or a loss only records the outcome. The information you need to improve lives inside the game itself.
Follow a clear, structured sequence from initial import to long-term understanding.
Connect your Chess.com or Lichess account, or paste a PGN string directly. Depthly imports your completed games instantly so review fits right into your post-game routine.
Instead of inspecting every move manually, Depthly isolates key turning points where evaluation shifted and critical decisions were made.
Labels state what happened, but progress requires knowing why. Depthly breaks down errors into clear decision points:
Inspect candidate moves and key variations directly on the interactive board. Examine alternatives without losing context of the original game state.
Convert analysis into practical takeaway lessons. Your game becomes a concrete reference point rather than just a score on a history list.
Not every move deserves equal attention. Reviewing routine opening moves or forced recaptures wastes effort. Depthly highlights the exact moments where position balance shifted.
Labels like Inaccuracy, Mistake, or Blunder state severity, but they do not explain why an error occurred or how to prevent it in your next game.
Depthly positions game analysis around understanding cause and outcome rather than collecting color-coded labels.
Repeated analysis helps uncover habits that cost points across multiple games.
The goal is not to analyze more games. It is to learn more from the games you already play.
