How I Track My Results - Do You Track Yours?

Hi everyone! I wrote a blog this week about how I track my results in a spreadsheet and shared a template if you want to try it in your own games. I'm curious if any of you track your results, and if so, what kind of data to you track?

The Spreadsheet I Used To Get To 2500

I just watch my rating go up or down, I don't yet track results.

I havent thought of it this way yet, but its an interesting prospect to track through a spreadsheet. Please add more details and maybe a blueprint

So as a result of a recent blog post I made, I have decided to track my games' variance by time and day, and country in which I'm playing against. With a few more quirks to track more in depth statistics. With the idea of finding when are the most optimal times the competition is most stiff. I'm lower rated, so I'm looking for any excuse I can find as to why I can't improve. LUL. But with the intention of improving based on a "scientific" approach

I just input my OTB games into the chess.com library

The amount of precipitation on my chess board via tears is typically an accurate indicator of my performance.

All I've been doing so far is keeping a track of my Rapid and Blitz ratings weekly, with a simple sheet showing Wins, Draws, Losses, Starting Elo, Ending Elo and the +/- change. also win % too.

I check my stats, or I use this website giving you free insights on chess.com or lichess accounts: https://www.chessmonitor.com/account

I did have a document documenting my mistakes following this https://youtu.be/GMuo4VQXxeE?si=ZZvvm084haZ3Qvu5 , but the excel you have is amazing!! Will start filling my version of it now.

Thank you very much!

I’ve used a simple spreadsheet for about a year to track wins, losses, themes and have gone to relying on the insights on the site. I enjoy focusing on aspects in my games that are covered there as a gauge to improvement in a way more than wins and losses.

For USCF rating, there's my rating history.

For Chess.com rapid and puzzles, there's clear performance chart as well.

Losing a game by 0.2 seconds isn’t much of an indicator of skill—many games slip away due to bad connections. If Chess.com could guarantee a flawless experience, I might trust my stats, but as it stands, they feel more like a measure of luck than anything else. Bullet is the only format I’m willing to play because longer games feel unbearably tedious. Obvious moves take too long, and losing becomes even more painful since hopeless positions just drag on. It’s like taking five minutes to fall on your sword or suffering through a conversation where every response is delayed by an excruciating, exhausting pause.

I am so happy to see I am not alone combining both my passion for spreadsheet and my passion for chess!

In my case, I am tracking OTB games including ratings, results, expected results based on ratings, openings, and a main comment on the game. With chess.com game review, I have also added recently the game accuracy and the game review ratings (now that I am talking about it, I might do a review of past games which has not been reviewed with the game review engine). Overall, I am also charting my rating and my tournament's performance rating over time.

Cheers to all my spreadsheet friends !
