Lichess and Chess.com query

Post by John Upham » Sat May 27, 2023 6:03 pm

Is there a method to download into .pgn format all of the games of a particular lichess.org and / or chess.com user?

Lets us assume I have worked out the players Lichess .org / chess.com player name.

Thanks.

Possibly there is an extant tool to aggregate the games of any individual?

For Lichess you can try this https://lichessgamedownload.netlify.app/
It retrieved all my games for this year without any problem.

Chess.com might not be as open as lichess, especially if you are not a paying member.

If it is for opening preparation purposes, use openingtree.com
If it is to download to your database, it should be something like lichess.org/games/search
Ill need to check the exact URL of the latter.
