Opening stats

I notice that game openings (and defence) are recorded. It would be interesting to see some stats on usage and outcomes on an individual basis - and maybe on a wider perspective. e.g. do players in the different ranks play similar openings. Might be useful to nudge people to try different openings/defences.

You mean like this:

Yes, this kind of thing. I don't see GamesExplorer on my menus - is this an option that paid up members get?

For some odd reason Games Explorer has never been linked to the main site. It's open to all:
www.redhotpawn.com/gamesexplorer

Thanks for the info. I'll go and have an explore 🙂
Are there any other useful things that aren't linked to the main site?

if that is helpful I don't know. It could be discontinued in future...

Am I mistaken that the database for this has not been updated in a couple years? It only has 17 of my games.

I don't believe that the Games Explorer database has been updated for a long time, if ever. Maybe that's why it's never been linked to the main site.
