Lichess Rating Progress
Enter your Lichess username and a time control to see your current rating, how it has changed over the last 3, 6 and 12 months, and a 12-month chart — live from the public Lichess API.
How it works
Lichess keeps a public rating history for every account: one point per day on which you played rated games, per time control. This page reads that history and compares your current rating with where you stood 3, 6 and 12 months ago (the last recorded rating on or before each cutoff). The chart period is switchable (3, 6, 12 months or the whole history); days without games are connected with straight lines.
Unlike the chart on a Lichess profile, this page turns the history into three concrete numbers — your 3, 6 and 12-month change — works for any player without logging in, and the result is a link you can copy or share. To see two players on one chart, use the compare players page; for your results over the last 30 games, see recent form.
How to read the result
| Field | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Current rating | Blitz 1850 | Your rating after the most recent rated game |
| 3 months | +40 | You are 40 points above your rating 3 months ago |
| 6 months | −15 | You are 15 points below your rating 6 months ago |
| 12 months | +105 | Net climb over the whole year |
| 12 months | — | The account has no rated games that far back |
Short-term swings of ±50 points are normal variance; the 12-month number is the honest measure of progress. To plan the next climb, try the rating goal calculator, or see where your rating ranks with the rating percentile calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Why is one of the changes shown as "—"?
A dash means the account has no rated games that far back in this time control, so there is no rating to compare against — the account is simply younger than the window.
Is my username sent anywhere or stored?
The request goes directly from your browser to the Lichess API and nothing is stored; only public profile data is read. The username is also excluded from our analytics events.
Why does the chart look jagged or sparse?
Lichess records one rating point per day on which you played rated games in that time control. Days without games are connected with straight lines, so quiet periods appear as long straight segments.
