Only moves in charting

Is there any way to see at what point in the game you had only-moves, or very few possible moves to keep the advantage?

Thanks

If you enable the local analysis in Extra Analysis Charting, @PebblePaul , you will get a yellow line that looks to follow the server eval one, only it uses your local engine. You will notice that it has two lines, one thicker - which is the best move eval - and a thinner one - which is the average of the other moves in the computer evaluation. That means that if there is a big divergence between the two, it was probably an only line.

You can locally evaluate an entire line by right clicking the last move in the line and selecting Evaluate previous moves.

Wow thanks @TotalNoob69 , that's sophisticated. Unfortunately I am not seeing those yellow lines in my chart, and I also don't see the different buttons at the bottom anymore to toggle on and off (material, principled, tension etc.) Screenshot 2026-10-23 at 15-37-20 PebblePaul vs alexey7795 - Scandinavian Defense Anderssen Counterattack • lichess.org.png
Any ideas about that? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LichessTools, didn't work

The buttons are simplifying access to the preferences for extraChart. Just write extraChart in the preferences filter and set up stuff
