Field notes

Users choose Lichess or Chess.com and enter an opponent’s handle; adding their own handle on the same service is optional and is described as making the plan personal. The analysis is said to include opening frequency and scores alongside time controls, game length, and loss patterns. The page says reports with too little data are automatically refunded, and that no account is required.
