Confused about Achievements

Sort:
Avatar of AASuper

1) I finished my 1st daily game some time ago, but I didn't unlock the achievement. What do I do?

2) I think I tried analyzing one of my games, but I didn't unlock the Second Opinion achievement. What am I doing wrong?

3) I think I tried reviewing all my stats, but I didn't unlock the Statistician achievement. How do I do that?

4) What does it mean to "use 'My Games' database past move 5" to obtain the Introspection achievement?

5) I also need help with the Ballot Box achievement. I distinctly remember playing in a Vote Chess game that's still going.

6) What's the difference between joining a tournament, playing in a Team Match, and directing a tournament?

7) How does becoming a Pack Leader work? I've joined this very club, and it has much more than 10 members, but I haven't received that achievement. What's going on?

Hey, thanks for submitting this, please find clarification below.

  1. You only played Chess960 daily game, the achievement is related to standard variant
  2. Second opinion achievement is won only when you actually save the analysis
  3. Statistician achievement is won when you go through all your stats (Blitz, Rapid, Daily, etc.)
  4. This means that you should inspect your game past move 5 (actually go through the moves)
  5. Vote game has to be completed for achievement to be won
  6. Joining a tournament means joining any tournament alone, team match means joining a tournament as a club and directing a tournament means actually starting/organizing one
  7. Pack Leader means that you created a club and managed to have 10+ members - not joining one which already has that

Hope this is helpful, please let me know if you have additional questions.

Regarding achievements, when do they show up on the profile? I've seen it on some profiles. I've won two trophies in the tournament arena but they're not showing up above the statistics. Or is that tab only for trophies given by other users?

You mean these 6 limited spaces for trophies? This is called "Showcase". That word is kinda deleted from chess.com. To enable your chosen 6 trophies, you need to visit your trophy page.

Then select that trophy you want in one of those 6 spaces

Then click "Feature in showcase" on your selected trophy.

Yes and what exactly does it mean by reviewing all your stats?

yah, i wondered cause i tried to get that achievement a week ago by doing just that xD still not come through

Thanks for the clarification, Milan, but I'm still confused about how to actually go through the first five moves of one of my games. Where do I go to do that?

I've played over 25 live games, but I didn't get the "live 25" achievement. Whom should I contact about this?

 

Update: I somehow received that achievement, but now I'm curious about why I didn't also get the "daily 25" achievement, despite being involved with at least 25 daily games.

Hey, i do see that you played 25 Daily games - i will ticket this as a bug and it will be addressed. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Avatar of AASuper

Maybe it's buggy because I started some of those games without finishing them? Should I keep playing daily games until the website lets me play in tournaments? (I've been told that I can only play in tourneys after I've played 30 daily games.)

Also, I believe that I recently completed 100 lessons, so how come I still only have the Kindergarten and Grade School achievements while Chess College remains locked?
