I played a live game earlier this afternoon but I have been unable to find it in the "my games" section of the site. Are live games not stored? A shame, it was a nice endgame.

Yep, they sure are stored... your's are right here: http://www.chess.com/livechess/profile/MacGyverMagic . :-)

I actually wish there was a way NOT to store them publicly. Some of mine are so bad it's embarassing.

Thanks baseballfan. I would have expected to find them in "My Games", so why isn't it in there but on that separate page?

What "My Games" link are you referring to? Can you give the url?

 Perhaps he's talking about "My Games" on the games explorer.  Personbally I wouldn't like to see the blitz games included there...ok if they're just in the archive.

Same, that would be a great feature since almost all my games are live.

live chess games will eventually be included in the game explorer. Just not yet :)

ZOMG!! That will be so incredible, chess.com staff rules!
