Does Opening Explorer work for you guys

I originally posted this in the Help and support section, but since I didn't get a response, I'm also posting it here.

When I look at my stats it says I have 3,773 blitz games total, with 1,873 of them as white and 1,900 of them as black. I also have 947 bullet games, 65 Daily games, and 31 Rapid Games. This means I played about 4816 games total, so how come when I try to use opening explorer with the "my games" feature it says I have less then 800 games as white, whereas in reality I have about triple that amount. I almost always play rated, so failing to include unrated games probably isn't the issue. I also very rarely play against the computers, so it's impossible that that's the reason there are so many games omitted. I also noticed that whenever it points out a move that only happened once it refers to a game from at least two years ago, is it possible it doesn't record the games played more recently? The settings are set to show "all games", so that's also not the problem. Is the database glitching, or is this a "basic member" problem?

I'm actually a bit surprised you even have access to the Opening Explorer.  It's listed as a premium only feature on the membership page.

They give free members access up to the first five moves

It does, I checked your database and it seems to have all of your games.

Are any of your games fischerandom, 3 check, crazy house, etc.? Those would not be in the database

I do play variants, but the 4816 games I am looking for are all regular chess, not including variants.

Correct my math if I'm wrong I was just guessing in my head but I believe that's the number of blitz games you've played ?

It's a bit less, and as you said it's just less the number of blitz games, which is around 3 times less than all the games I've played combined.

Well im sure a good few of those are unrated+variants which could be the case but i agree that you are definitely missing a few games

*facepalm*

I don't count variants cuz they don't show up in opening explorer...for obvious reasons.

Same, a fair number of our rated non-variant chess games against human opponents (over 2/3 for me) are missing from the opening explorer.
