Rooky Move Finds the Strange Stories in Your Chess Games
A browser-based chess archive explorer that searches Chess.com or Lichess usernames for missed mates, comebacks, collapses, blunders, streaks, and other memorable patterns.
Why it surfaced
Rooky Move gives chess archives an unusually editorial set of filters, from “After midnight” and “Quick losses” to “Scrambles” and “Mismatches.” It reads public APIs, runs analysis in the browser, and says the games are never uploaded or stored.
