This is a fantastic idea and I would love to try it. Am I missing something? I don't have a google account and I’m on chess.com not lichess - how do I make an account?

Cool, I think you can scan your existing chess.com games by clicking the chess.com toggle? and enter your chess.com username. You don't need an account to try the tool
Aha! That worked. Brilliant idea, really useful - I’ve often thought ‘ i wonder what my better move is in this oft-repeated opening’ and this tells me. Thankyou!
The radar measure was surprising - it told me my play falls of a cliff when i’m in a worse position- I would have guessed i’m quite good at battling on, so that was an eye opener. To be clear, I am sure the analysis is better than my gut feeling.
Amazing, thanks for the great feedback :) I'll add it to the reviews!

Yeah I find the estimate of the radar chart to be quite accurate. I scanned a range of players from beginners, to pros like magnus and hikaru and myself who is in between (2200 elo) and it gets the rating estimates correct. So I think if we work on all the fields it's suggesting we can definitely climb!
