FAQ

Questions Chess.com owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI automatically find the current ratings for a specific Grandmaster like Magnus Carlsen?

    Yes! Use the get_player_stats capability with the username. Your agent will respond with the current and best ratings for Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid formats, along with their recent win/loss record.

  • 02

    Is it possible to retrieve all games played by a user in a specific month for technical analysis?

    Absolutely. First use get_player_game_archives to see available periods, then run get_player_monthly_games for the target year and month. It will return the complete PGN data for all matches in that window.

  • 03

    Does the integration permit listing all active Grandmasters (GMs) on the platform?

    Yes. The list_titled_players action allows your agent to fetch the complete list of usernames for any official title, including GM, WGM, IM, and FM, directly from the platform.
