As long as you play unrated games vs. yourself don’t see why you would get banned. I’d like a mod to comment on this if possible - shouldn’t ban players due to a lack of features on the site.

Mods rarely comment but if you go back through search you will find many who have been banned for having multiple accounts.

Any update on this from 2 years ago?  Would love to be able to enter the OTB game through the Explorer and then save it to Library I could call "OTB Games" ... Sounds simple enough.

The only option is the Library and a Collection.

There's no Explorer integration

hi, I don't suppose any headway was made towards establishing an OTB games database...

A Library collection was created for that:

Thanks Martin! You had posted this earlier, I see it just now. Somehow I did not see it before, my apologies!

This was somewhat helpful, I want to load all my USCF Rated OTB tournament games to the library, looks like the best way is to put the PGN in and save it?

Any other advice would be helpful, as I also wanted to notate my opponent, the date, and other options like that.

I found it, if you click on "Details" you can add all the stuff I mentioned.

Not being able to save my OTB games to my Chess.com Archive is very frustrating as I am an OTB Club player trying to review, analyse and learn from, my OTB games

I'm not sure if this works for non-premium members, but if you click on Learn, and then Analysis, you can paste PGN files into the resulting page, and then save them to a library.
