Question 1

How do I explore my own player?

Accepted Answer

Open Your account and sign in, then enter a Chess.com username. Save the player to load it automatically next time. You can explore k27goat’s public demo before signing in. A saved username does not verify ownership of that Chess.com account.

Question 2

Why don’t my game totals match Chess.com?

Accepted Answer

The explorer starts with up to three available archive months. Use “Load earlier months” below the workspace to expand the record. Filters and excluded variants also change the total. The Sources page lists every imported month and any excluded, invalid, or truncated records.

Question 3

Why does the current rating differ from the chart?

Accepted Answer

The current rating is Chess.com’s category summary. The timeline uses ratings recorded after individual rated games within your loaded selection. Different time controls, dates, incomplete imports, and cached responses can produce different values. Rapid, daily, blitz, and bullet are kept separate.

Question 4

What is the difference between win rate and score rate?

Accepted Answer

Win rate divides wins by games with a known result. Score rate gives a draw half a point: (wins + half of draws) divided by known results. For one win, one draw, and one loss, win rate is 33.3% and score rate is 50%. Unknown results are excluded from both calculations.

Question 5

How fresh are the records?

Accepted Answer

Public responses are normally cached for at least 12 hours to limit repeat requests. Their check times appear on Sources. If the provider is unavailable, eligible cached records may be shown with a stale label. New games may not appear immediately.

Question 6

How do I go from a statistic to a game?

Accepted Answer

Select a summary card, opening, opponent, result segment, or activity day to open its matching games. Choose a row to replay the game. On the rating chart, hover a point or use the labeled slider for exact values, then choose “Open this game.” Keyboard arrow keys move the slider one game at a time.

Question 7

Can I replay and export my games?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Game library exports the filtered selection as CSV. A game’s replay offers its PGN and a link to the original Chess.com game. Use the move list or first, previous, next, and final controls; flip the board to change your perspective. Replay requires a valid source PGN.

Question 8

Does the site analyze my moves with an engine?

Accepted Answer

No. The board replays the recorded moves. Opening labels come from public source data, and practice tips describe patterns in your selected results. They are not engine evaluations, blunder counts, or an assessment of move quality. Review the underlying games before changing your repertoire.

Question 9

Why are some tournament games missing?

Accepted Answer

Tournament participation totals come from a separate source. The event detail shows only matching standard-chess games in the archives you have loaded. An event can still be in progress after a player is eliminated; those statuses remain separate. A dash means the provider did not report a value.

Question 10

I saved my email. Why am I not signed in?

Accepted Answer

Saving an email is a capture step; it does not verify the address. When email delivery is available, use the single-use link within 15 minutes and confirm sign-in. If the form says email sign-in is coming soon, use its ChatGPT sign-in option or continue with the public demo.

Question 11

Do I need to share my Chess.com password?

Accepted Answer

No. This site reads public Chess.com records. Website sign-in and your Chess.com account are separate. Never enter your Chess.com password here.

Question 12

Where can I change my saved player or update preference?

Accepted Answer

Go to Your account, edit the username or optional product-update checkbox, and save your preferences. Product updates are not required for access. Read Privacy for the information this site stores.
