Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based chess archive explorer that searches Chess.com or Lichess usernames for missed mates, comebacks, collapses, blunders, streaks, and other memorable patterns.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-22 issue.

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.
