More ways to understand and share your chess

This release adds richer game and opening insights, recurring blunder patterns, and new ways to compare progress with friends. You can connect a verified Lichess account, get an optional weekly digest, and see your latest games analysed sooner.

Connect and get started

  • Connect a Lichess account and verify ownership with the bio-token check.
  • New members see first-run guidance while their games import and analysis catches up.
  • Recently played games are prioritised ahead of older history during imports.

Understand your games

  • Find games from your own history that are most like the game you are reviewing.
  • Explore repeat opponents and see how your results against them develop.
  • Break down performance by time of day and game phase, and review your clock-use profile.
  • Follow longer-term trends, including rating changes carried in from before Gambit.

Build your opening picture

  • Explore opening results across rating bands using the Lichess opening table.
  • Compare your played repertoire with saved studies to spot where your games drift from your plans.

Practise and compare

  • See recurring blunder types grouped together so you can focus practice on patterns that repeat.
  • Compare drills, openings and leaks with players around your rating.
  • Connect with friends, compare profiles and results head-to-head, and review group discipline and leak leaderboards.

Keep up with your community

  • Opt in to a weekly email digest of your chess activity.
  • Opt in to nudges when a friend breaks one of their own rules; these notifications are optional.

A smoother review experience

  • Review pages are easier to navigate and more of the intended controls are clickable.
  • Non-standard chess variants are skipped during import and analysis so they do not distort your standard-chess figures.
