When do the “Game Stats” populate? For example, I pulled myself up and went looking for opponents I had played before. The portal responded with “No Stats.” The previous system has this function. Ditto for year stats.
I thought they were working the other day, but something broke and they’re working on fixing it.
In a similar vein, are they planning to modify the ratings history graphs to a readable scale? When you’ve never been below 1700, a scale with the x axis at 900 isn’t very useful. And the old graphs also highlighted your peak rating, a feature which doesn’t 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 isn’t currently available.
A lot of improvements are going to come down to a cost-benefit ratio, programmers don’t work for free (I didn’t, either.)
Wow, I forgot about the graph that showed the peak rating. Yes, they need to incorporate that as well.
The chess camp I’m 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 won’t 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.
