What does this provide that the chess.com analysis engine doesn't? I'm a chess rookie but I find the engine's suggestions and playing through paths much more useful than just seeing what moves people have played against me and their win rates. Is this a tool that only becomes useful for higher rated players?

It’s useful to study the positions you might see in a game and prep your opening lines and plans before you play. Obviously if you playing a random opponent it’s not that useful, but there are leagues such as the 45+45 league where you know your opponent up to a week in advance.

Ah I hadn't clocked that part - it's actually a tool to get the upper-hand against a _particular_ known opponent. Not that useful to me, but cool to know it exists!

Also try lichess, it's free and open source.
