Analyze chess players' Elo journey!

For each rating milestone below, we compute games played, months taken, age at milestone, and cumulative score. For each player, pick USCF or FIDE, enter an ID or search by name, and add a birthdate (optional), then press analyze — one batch can mix USCF and FIDE players freely. If DOB blank, we'll try to pull the birth year from FIDE, otherwise age stats are skipped.

After analyzing, save data as a CSV for further analysis or compare the players you've analyzed with our graphs: great tool for understanding how long chess improvement takes!

If you want to analyze a large number of players, feel free to enter them as a list! (max 100)

Note: FIDE analyses have no score % data and FIDE only transitioned to monthly rating lists in Aug 2012, so FIDE data may be less precise for older periods.
