It's correspondance chess, not live chess.

If you don't use it, you're deliberately ignoring the whole point of correspondance chess.

I use it too much as well.  I think it's hindering my ability to just think.  Everytime I use it, I'm reminded of Searching for Bobby Fischer: "Don't move until you see it... don't move until you see it."

it is classless to use the analysis board, especially when ur opponent is not using it!

Bill-Meredith, word.

I would just like to know why chess.com put there for in the first place.

I agree with you all, I think it's obvious that it doesn't help your chess abilities if you use it, but are you giving yourself a disadvantage by not using it in correspondence chess? After all, your opponent may be using it.

I think I wish that it was not a feature on Chess.com.

But if you play in real tournament, you can't use a analysis board, so you should get the habit of not using the analysis board. So I never use it.

U can use the Analysis board...But u should stop using it later cuz ur too dependant on the images rather than visualizing

yes especially if you can't visualize the board and play touch move

I was thinking the same thing, i read a post on the analysis capabilities of this program and that program. I dont know maybe im too much in rookieville to know any better but i preffer to do my own analysis. Or at least try.
