Answers.Body: <p>I envsion that Amazon Alexa will soon have this capability. It feels very Ex Machina-like.  Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.. first instinct is that it's a bad thing because it is you that should be doing the analysis, by hand, if you wish to improve your game and/or learn something of value. But if you're stuck, and have spent considerable time on a position, and you're getting nowhere, then I see no harm in this. Yet, in online competitive play, this could become quite the problem. </p>

Body: <p>Almost 20 years ago there was a game called Power Chess 98 from Sierra. After every game you played, this sensual voice would analyze move by move telling you what you should have done, etc. It was the best way to learn chess in my opinion.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is: Is there a software/game that has this feature, in other words, a post-game analysis <strong>through voice not text</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to read the analyses, I want to hear it as the pieces are moved in the board, after the game is over of course.</p>

Comments.Text: Apparently, you can install Windows 95 on VMWare or Virtual machine and then you can install Power Chess 98 on it. I didn't try it yet, but it should be possible.

  Almost 20 years ago there was a game called Power Chess 98 from Sierra. After every game you played, this sensual voice would analyze move by move telling you what you should have done, etc. It was the best way to learn chess in my opinion.
  
  So my question is: Is there a software/game that has this feature, in other words, a post-game analysis **through voice not text**?
  
  I don't want to read the analyses, I want to hear it as the pieces are moved in the board, after the game is over of course.
