Problem: Computer analysis not available for games started as challenge

Is anybody facing similar problem, that computer analysis is available if game is played "from the list", but analysis is not available if challenging a friend (by using challenge function).

when you challenge a friend, use the "Standard" mode and not the "FEN" mode. Then you will have analysis.

I'm working on making the FEN games analyzable, too. But I can't predict when it will be ready.

Thibault, could you please check why this game is missing "request computer analysis" http://en.lichess.org/ubmglxff

It's was played in a Standard mode (as we can see in game log castling was available), but still analysis is not available.

The same problem. Played 2 games two games today as a challenge and i cant start analysis.

Found a workaround for this problem, you can import game's PGN file and then analyse that game.

I also have a similar problem and can't figure out why I can't analyze this game http://en.lichess.org/analyse/bk6elnmb/black

It seems to me that the problem is that you can't analyse the game, unless you have a result (even putting a random one on between the brackets in the "Result" entry in the pgn text (For example 0-1) works perfectly), hopefully this will help.

By the way, thanks Thibault, you are the reason why internet is such a wonderful place!

The bug has been fixed 2 months ago, you can now analyse any game, provided that the initial position makes sense to the stockfish engine.

Hey Thibault, actually I had this problem 20 minutes ago, which I was able to solve by putting a result in the imported game, obviously very easy to do and not a problem to me....but just to let you know!

Thanks,

Nicola
