Feature: Show next best move

[xenix1337]

When analyzing games (imported from chess.com) I sometimes try out different scenarios and after making move different from original game, I would like to know the best move now.

Currently, I do any random move as opponent to see it being blunder/mistake and showing me the best move, after which I revert this move and do the best one.

Can we add a Show best move button or checkbox to know the best move at any position?

Hi @xenix1337
For any board position, you can see the next best moves on the "engine lines". The one on the top is the best, the second best is the one just below, etc ... Please also note that engine lines are clickable, so if you want to jump to a move, you can also click on it.

Watching the engine lines is how I currently do this but it definitely is not ideal. Lichess adds the next best move on the analysis and is the only thing that is better about it vs chesskit for me. I still default to chesskit but this feature seems minor but would basically make it where I never needed any other analysis tool if you would reconsider it as a backlog feature.

Hi @jthunderbird
You mean to display the next best move as an arrow on the board ? What arrow color you think is the best ?

Sorry just saw this; yes if you check out an analysis on lichess and click on request a computer analysis, it will do the same thing (but I think only on mistakes/blunders by default). Color I do personally couldn't care less. Some may not love it, but if its a checkbox that defaults to off, I am happy clicking it back on each time!
