The way you comment on the games accurately represents the human element of chess without the evaluation bar. You encourage the audience to analyze and think through moves along with your analysis. You are one of the very few channels encouraging this type of thinking instead of constant engine move plugging.

Your narration is perfect. It’s like a little story every time. I immediately start the video and turn sideways so I don’t see spoilers in the comments. Love what you do!!

I feel one of the reasons this channel is so special and different from other chess channels is the storytelling aspect. You are a great storyteller, and each video feels like a small dramatic story where I don’t know what’s going to happen. If I wanted a pure chess analysis I would just go to an engine and that’s it. An evaluation bar would be a very boring spoiler. I like that this channel is so human about chess, and I would really like if it stays that way.

Agad I have been watching your channel for years. YOU are literally the reason why I started playing chess. Please do not add an evaluation bar. It will detract so much from your excellent commentary. I love it when you announce a position is lost or winning - it is excellent waiting in anticipation where the game will go next. We don’t need an evaluation bar.

Adding the remaining clock time after each move would be nice. You mention when someone is in time trouble, but seeing how much time is left on their clock could be a nice addition

I would rather not. So many youtubers already do that, your channel being different in that aspect is a good thing. That way we can dive deeper in the game without knowing what an engine "thinks" about what's going on, and enjoy your analysis of the match.

I hope this gets into the "No" soon because your videos would change quite a lot if after every move we already knew what is happening. On the other hand, and only if it doesn't impact the time between each video, i would love a timer for each move played

I watch your video every day because for your storytelling and witty comments. I don't see an evaluation bar adding any value to your analysis as others gentleman have already pointed out. Btwn, I've been following your channel consistently for the last two years. Thank you for asking feedback from the community

I like your narration. I think that the engine bar can be very inhuman. Plus every other channel does the engine bar. Yours is unique because it is more human. During the game the players don’t have a bar. I like being more into the game itself like the players are into it, evaluating the position for themselves

I think it would detract from the style of analysis you give and would lead to viewers watching the bar rather than thinking about the game

As you have mentioned in multiple occasions , the objective best "engine" analysis don't really mean anything if the line is so bizarre that neither player will calculate. I love what your channel brings , a game analyzed from human perspective. And I don't really want that to waste away

I'd personally prefer it without bc I think an evaluation bar is a poor way to evaluate a human game

I've been following your channel for years. Please dont change. Stay true to your original identity. Your commentary is what makes your channel unique and stand out from the rest.

Your analysis of the game itself sufficient no more add ons are required. Thank you for bringing videos on demand. Love from India 🇮🇳

Please no evaluation. It removes the storytelling part, and it's better for most of us to evaluate the position in a human way, without having the solition to everything. Please don't change that, it's one of the best things about this channel and I think all your diehard fans would agree.

I love your evaluation and narration of the game.. don't want the bar to ruin it.. instead u may add the time

Switched my vote to no. Agad has the pgn in every video, you can always load it up to see the evaluation bar yourself.

No, it ruins the fun. You're the only unique channel that does not use it Antonio and we love that

No, because the engine evaluation is often based only on one crazy line that no human would ever find, and thus doesn't correspond to the practical evaluation of the position, which is what the players use during the game

I only know that evaluation bar ruins every live chat's brain and everyone talk there as if they have a 2600 elo. I do enjoy your narration/explanation that prioritizes reasoning and context over what an engine can show (although if it's only for dramatic "pause the video" moments sounds fine, as can be part of the presentation)
