Do you want me to add an evaluation bar to my videos?

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.

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 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 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'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.

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

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 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

If people wanted that, they'd watch Gotham. I love the way you narrate the game from a human perspective

I like it the way it is, with no bar. The super clean old school design is very special, no moving bars, just like in the Morphy era. and one would never expect the pause the video moment based on the bar suddenly spiking ...

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

Your videos are great. I like your feedback and analysis, even though we have about the same rating on classical chess. What you provide is priceless. Keep on! Thanks a lot

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.

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

Your analysis is far more than enough and still entertaining.

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