FAQ
The fine print, said plainly.
Is this really 100 total, forever? +
Yes. When the counter hits zero, it's closed. The regular $18/year tier stays available, same product.
What if my rating goes down or stays flat? +
It goes on the site anyway. The point isn't to cherry-pick winners. It's to show real players using the tool, with whatever numbers they actually have.
Can I withdraw my testimonial later? +
No. Forever use is the other half of forever pricing. If that's not comfortable, the regular tier is the right fit.
What if I change my Chess.com or Lichess handle? +
Email us and we'll relink. Ratings flow from the handle, so we need it current.
Can I use both Chess.com and Lichess? +
Pick one for the site. Inside the app you can still import and analyze games from both.
What about FIDE or USCF ratings? +
The site displays online ratings because those refresh automatically. We're not committing to manual OTB updates.
