Hi everyone, I was thinking of a way to improve the Lichess analysis, maybe you are already working on it, it would be nice to see more details in the analysis and put in a more intuitive way. You could also add the "Genius Moves", you could make Lichess much more complete.

Yes, it's true, but apart from that, it could be made more intuitive, there are so many writings, so many things on the screen. It could be structured differently.

not sure what "intuitive" means here...
Oh and how "much more complete" would such a "genius move" make it? Can you even define what a genius move is?
There is only a best move depending on the current depth of the engine, so it is possible to determine what an inaccuracy or a blunder are - but what would be the concept for brilliant?
Is a move brilliant whenever it is much better than all the alternatives? Certainly not, otherwise almost all recaptures were "brilliant" or "genius" - apart from forced moves anyways. So you have to define a move as brilliant when it seems not so good on first sight - probably you would have to let the engine assess the position with increasing depth, and then call the move brilliant if the assessment increases by a big amount on the step between, say, depth 8 to 9. Something like that ... but still, that would be such an unprecise definition that there would be a whining thread here every other day "Why is this move not genius?" - probably more frequent then the "Why not a draw?" or something.
So maybe you have some good idea, but you better explain what you really want to do when you make the wise suggestion to make Lichess "much more complete". For me it is complete enough already. (Btw is completeness something that can be increased?)

You all concentrated on the word brilliant, but mine was an example, perhaps stupid. I can't attach a screenshot, but computer analysis for example. On the right there are all the moves made in the game, mistakes, serious mistakes, inaccuracies, with the various signs. You could arrange it differently, more intuitively, and change the graphics setting. Mine was a tip for modernizing the Lichess interface.
