When the match ends, review: • The full move timeline with per-move deltas • Per-side stats: moves, total time, average, longest think • Cross-match analytics: your play streak, average move time, longest think ever, time-trouble rate, wins as White vs Black • Export as PGN with clock annotations for Lichess, SCID, ChessBase • Or export as CSV or JSON for your own analysis •••••••••••• BROADCAST & SPECTATE Tap share to generate a 6-digit code.
