When do the âGame Statsâ populate? For example, I pulled myself up and went looking for opponents I had played before. The portal responded with âNo Stats.â The previous system has this function. Ditto for year stats.
I thought they were working the other day, but something broke and theyâre working on fixing it.
In a similar vein, are they planning to modify the ratings history graphs to a readable scale? When youâve never been below 1700, a scale with the x axis at 900 isnât very useful. And the old graphs also highlighted your peak rating, a feature which doesnât exist on the current graph. This is obviously not the highest priority item, of course.
Yeah, the scaling sucks at the moment. And since it shows only official ratings, peak rating information isnât currently available.
A lot of improvements are going to come down to a cost-benefit ratio, programmers donât work for free (I didnât, either.)
Wow, I forgot about the graph that showed the peak rating. Yes, they need to incorporate that as well.
The chess camp Iâm involved with relies on peak ratings, looking them up manually for every single camper. Good thing we only run one week a year, and we wonât need this for another 7 months.
Hopefully the API will be robust enough to give us all (non-private) data given an USCF id. I have always been very cautious with kids ratings beyond basic trend direction. Even after established ratings kick in the swings up and down can be enormous - especially with a lot of improving/underrated players participating.
Extra caution around peak ratings as I think you might want to distinguish between peak & peak established. Personally, I want to be able to pull Tournament Date, Rating System, Pre Rating,Pre Games,Post Rating, Post Games. Then I can pretty much calc anything I want to including a nice dynamic graph rather than the static, stacked graph.
Where do you find the TD level at this new site (e.g., Club, Local, Senior, etc.)?
You donât, at least not yet.
MSA will continue to have TD certification level available until we figure out a place for that in MUIR.
(Might be a case of the certification level not being ported yet.)
Where do I find MSA now that USCF has defaulted to MUIR?
msa.uschess.org (which actually runs on www.uschess.org) should still get you to the legacy MSA pages for the next few months. MSA will continue to get membership updates and TD status updates, but no new tournament or ratings related data will be posted there.
There will come a point in 2026 when the www and secure2 servers are shut down along with the legacy ratings database server, but that wonât happen until everything currently on those servers either has a new home or a decision has been made to discontinue some things for lack of interest.
Drats, when the name or ID is entered, then âFind New Searchâ is selected, it defaults back to the MSA page in a vicious circle. It is also empty (name or ID missing).
Thatâs actually two separate buttons âfindâ and ânew searchâ. I threw some spaces in to make that clearer.
