If I wanted to analyze my games after they are DONE then i would just use chess.com own analysis tool which will do the same thing.

totally agree, the only reason I used this was because it worked with chess.com now they have blocked it and no longer useful.

terrible extension you cant even use it for chess.com. does the same thing as their own analysis. I dont know why you would download this when its already built in chess.com
