Game History on Chess.com
Finding a specific game or all the games you played with a certain opening is quick and easy using the game archive! Here's how to do it:
Web
Hover over 'Play' in the left-side menu of any Chess.com page and select 'Game History.' You'll see a list of all your games. Use the tabs at the top to filter by All, Favorites, Live, Daily, Bot, or Coach. You can also use the search icon to find a specific game.
Use the additional dropdown filters below the game type tabs to further narrow down your results.
Check the box next to one or more games, then choose from the available options to view them in a Classroom, add them to a Game Collection, analyze them, or download them.
The search results will show up to 100 pages of games. To find games beyond the first 100 pages, you'll need to refine your search to get fewer results.
Mobile
To search your archives on the mobile app, scroll to the very bottom of your homepage and tap on 'Game Archive.' You can scroll through all your games, and more games will load as you scroll down.
If you want to search for specific games, tap on the magnifying glass at the top right corner of the screen. Here you can filter which kind of games you want to see.
When you have made your choices, tap on 'Search' to see the list of games!
How to download PGNs of your games
You can download your games as PGN files individually or in bulk.
To download a single or multiple games, check the box next to it and click the 'Download' icon at the top of the list.
To download all games shown on the screen, check the 'Select All' box on the far right below the game type tabs, then click 'Download.'

FAQs
Why are some of my games missing from my archive?
Why are some of my games missing from my archive?
Most games are automatically saved to your Game Archive, but there are a few reasons you may not be able to find one.
If you have a large game history, the Game Archive displays up to 100 pages of results at a time. To find older games more quickly, use the available filters, such as date, time control, opponent, or game type.
If you can't find a game in the mobile app, check your Game Archive on the Chess.com website. The game may not appear immediately in the app due to a temporary syncing or caching delay.
Games against Bots and Coach are saved differently from games against other players. They are automatically saved once they meet the minimum move requirement, while shorter games can be saved manually. See: Can I save my games against the bots?
If you've checked your filters, the website, and the Bot or Coach tabs but the game is still missing, please contact our Support Team.
