How this is built: when the site deploys, a script fetches my games from the public chess.com API. Each game keeps only its month, weekday and hour, time control, colour, result, how it ended, opening, rating gap and first ten moves. There are no game links, opponents or exact times.

Standard chess only (no variants). Score counts a win as 1 and a draw as ½. All-time totals as JSON: /lab/chess/data.json.
