Does anyone have a timeline of when Chess.com introduced Game Analysis, and any significant improvements they have made to Game Analysis over the years? My understanding is a big change happened in early 2019. Have there been big changes since then? Does anyone know when it was introduced?

starts from a few days ago (maybe May 9th) I cannot play online game on browser. The chess board with pieces is rendered but inoperable and steps window not rendered. With network sniffer I found the connection to api.chess.com is always failed with "uncompleted" status. Changing the game's connection setting didn't help. It is weird because I can connect the api directly in separated browser session. Other JavaScript connection to www.chess.com is also okay. Any idea or suggest is appreciated! location: China OS/browser: iOS/Mac OS. Safari(in iOS/mac)/Microsoft Edge(Mac)

Hi,First of all, I just wanna say that Chess.com is an AWESOME site! Support mentioned this community, so I hope this is the right place for this question... I just wrote a small free open-source Chrome extension for Chess.com, adding Matrix-style digital rain to standard boards. My extension changes the board UI, but does NOT help players in any way. Is there a concept like "Approved for usage during games by Chess.com" badge, so people can relax knowing that using this extension during games does not violate fair play? Demo video, extension installation, GitHub repo, etc. are here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chess-digital-rain/bahgnadepjfgmbhaejlnpmjnkdemmgdd WDYT?

Something has changed I think. I'm not seeing the timeout_percent reported in chess_daily/last, only under chess_daily/record. For example, from https://api.chess.com/pub/player/pomarancian/stats : "chess_daily": { "last": { "rating": 1571, "date": 1619965650, "rd": 39 }, "best": { "rating": 1860, "date": 1391040394, "game": "https://www.chess.com/game/daily/323101078" }, "record": { "win": 952, "loss": 705, "draw": 115, "time_per_move": 18349, "timeout_percent": 13.02 }},

I've been getting back a few 500 HTTP error codes for a number of club match archive endpoint requests in the last hour. The code is for a generic server error issue but I'm wondering what the underlying problem is? These are some of the endpoint requests that are returning that code:- https://api.chess.com/pub/club/the-netherlands/matches https://api.chess.com/pub/club/hampovsky-chess-club/matches https://api.chess.com/pub/club/motorhead/matches All I get is "{"status":"error","message":"Internal Server Error"}" Anyone else encountering this?

Hi. About a month ago we created a version of 8 player chess and set up a club to play it in the forums by editing images. A month later and we have over 100 members, a sandbox image editor and we're on a push to try and make it so we have a live server one day. There's a real buzz about it and it's pretty kick that so many people are interested in it. We're aiming for something like the 4pc server that exists here already on Chess.com. Currently, we have one guy doing all the coding and he admits there are some areas he isn't as familiar with as he would like to be. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining our development team to help bring this about? Specifically, we are looking for people with any of the following skills: - PHP - Node.js - Webhooks - SQL Database building and website connectivity We can't pay you and even as the versions inventor I won't be making any money from the project either (Creative Commons all the way, yay!). Let me know if you are interested, check out the club if you would like to find out more. Here's a picture of our 8pc board: Thanks for Reading.

Is there a way for members to access their puzzles archive? The profile page only shows the last 25 puzzles solved.

I just created an alpha version of an analysis tool I was thinking about. https://chess-analyzer.azurewebsites.net/index.html It is still in early stage and only checks the archives for standard games, but I find it already more usable than the chess.com archive search... For now, you get an overview of your games played during the selected month, which you can quickly filter and chart. Feel free to comment/remark/suggest

Request: https://api.chess.com/pub/country/IN/players Request: https://api.chess.com/pub/country/US/players Response: {"status":"error","message":"Internal Server Error"} Can anyone Explain why this is happening?

Is there away to get a list of all past tournament URLs from a club?

I want to create a chess app using react and javascript and I am getting in a pickle over which library to use. I've been looking at chessboardjs but that seems to be javascript with some issues using it with react. chessboardjsx is unmaintained, so I wonder if there are any risks. My project is for me to improve my 'early days' react and javascript skills, but ultimately I would like to create the site into something with a paid membership element to it. I don't know what you call them: free version and paid. Freemium? Anyways, I spent all day on looking at the different boards out there and I am going round and round in circles. Any suggestions? I presume Chess.com is using chessboard.js with chess.js, although I am obviously not sure. And perhaps they are using React too? Anyone know the answers to these?

Hi Guys and Girls... Just a friendly notice that I just put together a .NET wrapper for the API in C#. https://github.com/nullablebool/ChessDotComSharp Available on Nuget too. Install-Package ChessDotComSharp

WhoAmI/Fermy's code is still available at http://bughouse.net/downloads.htm, and without BPGN support I don't think bug will ever be well-supported by the API. Best as I can tell right now, the API simply doesn't provide PGNs for bughouse games, meaning any sort of replay or analysis functionality simply can't be built.

I'm looking for a way to check if a player is currently in a blitz match and the link of the game, but I can't find an endpoint.I would appreciate any help, thank you

Just wondering if there is an endpoint for the Passport, list of countries a person has played against type of thing. https://www.chess.com/awards/crww/passport

Hi,Is there an Endpoint to get the list of the Friends of a player?

Hello, I'm trying to use the chess.com API for a discord bot, but have run into an issue when retrieving player ratings. Previously I just web-scraped the user's profile page to get all the ratings from there, but when using the API, the data I get back seems to be missing several game modes (the variant modes). As far as I can tell, the API is supposed to include the variant modes and everything else that is already publicly available on a user's profile. I appreciate any help or ideas as to what is happening. If it's relevant, I'm using this python wrapper library to use the API, but I don't think that's the issue here. Here is the response I get from making the API call for my own ratings (couldn't make the screenshot any longer, just open the image in a new tab and it'll be readable) Here are the stats as they show up on my profile (notice the presence of several more gamemodes)

This looks to be an exceptional situation for rating restricted team matches during registration. Relates only to players who have registered but then their rating exceeds limits before match starts. On web page, player who exceeds rating limit is moved down to bottom of roster and if rating remains outside limits then will be eliminated as match starts. Web page shows rating, API end point does not. Example: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1204580/games board #16. (as at 10th Feb) In Team match endpoint https://api.chess.com/pub/match/{ID} spec shows "players": [ { "username": "username", "board": "url", // url of board *** "rating": 1355, //rating of player "rd": 25.12, //Glicko RD "timeout_percent": 25.12, //timeout percentage in the last 90 days "status": "basic" //status of user } ]From API endpoint https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1204580 no rating shown.{"username":"thewiddy","timeout_percent":0,"rd":88.54,"status":"premium"}*** Also in all cases no board url is shown during registration

By chance I came across this seeming anomaly in the following league match:- https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1221540/games It's a match with an upper ratings limit and as often happens, a player ('Da_Crusha') has drifted above that limit and will be excluded from the final cut. The curious thing is, the endpoint returns all usual data on this player with the exception of their rating... see: https://api.chess.com/pub/match/1221540 A typical player: "username":"aardvark92","rating":1253,"timeout_percent":0,"rd":55.9,"status":"premium" Da_Crusha:"username":"da_crusha","timeout_percent":0,"rd":45.06,"status":"basic" It's not clear to me why the rating should be omitted - any ideas?
