## Game review queue

A game review queue is the list of a student's games waiting for engine analysis or already analysed, each with its own status: Pending, Analysing, Done or Error. The status reports engine processing only. It does not show that a coach has taught the game or approved any explanation of it.

## Context

In ChessCore the list sits on the analysis page, and every game carries one status. Pending shows Analysis queued, which means the game has not been reviewed by the engine yet. Analysing shows Analysing game, with no progress percentage or time estimate. Done means the Stockfish pass finished, which is different from a coach having taught the game or approved an AI explanation of it. Error means the request did not complete, and a failure to enter the queue shows the message could not queue engine analysis. Resolve the recorded problem, then use Request engine analysis on that game again; the row returns to Analysing. Each analysis worker handles one game at a time, so the list does not promise unlimited capacity or a fixed turnaround, and importing a PGN file of up to 200 games adds games without requesting analysis. The list is separate from the approval queue, where AI-written drafts wait for a person to approve them, and from any teaching schedule: a Done game still needs a coach to open it and decide what to say. For an optional coaching method that works through finished games, see the linked guide.
