Hi all,
I'm a little frustrated that chess.com has still not implemented a facility enabling me to download _all_ of the games I've played in PGN format. Currently, the only way to do this is to browse each and every page of my game archive:
https://www.chess.com/games/archive/[USERNAME]?gameOwner=my_game&gameTypes%5B0%5D=chess960&gameTypes%5B1%5D=daily&gameType=live
