You do not need to share your chess password. ChessCheatScan retrieves available public, finished games using a Chess.com or Lichess username.
Find a recent game
- Open the scanner and select Find by username.
- Use the small Chess.com / Lichess toggle to choose the platform.
- Enter the username and select Find games.
- Select Scan game beside the game you want to review. The list shows the opponent, result, side, and available game details.
The list contains up to 20 recent games supported by the tool. Only standard chess is supported. Availability depends on the platform's public game data; private or unavailable games cannot be retrieved by username.
Use a PGN or game link instead
If the game is missing from the list, select Paste PGN or Game link in the same container. A PGN is a text record of the game's moves and headers. Include player ratings when available: they help provide context for the report. You can also open a PGN file from the PGN input area.
Scan several games with Pro
Once signed in to Pro, find your games and choose Latest 5, Latest 10, or Latest 20. If fewer games are available, the batch uses the available ones. Already-scanned games are reused. Scans run on the server, so closing the browser tab does not stop the batch.
Come back while signed in to see your last lookup and saved White/Black score badges. Select View scan for the existing report. Each queued game counts toward the daily limit; failed scans can be retried and do not count against the limit.
Free scans and account requirements
Two free scans per rolling seven days are available without signing in, subject to a shared-network limit. Pro requires an account and costs $5 per month, with a maximum of 100 scans per day. Subscriptions can be canceled through Manage billing. See plans and pricing.
If something does not load
Check the selected platform and spelling of the username. If the chess site's API is temporarily unavailable or rate-limited, wait and retry or use a PGN. If a server restart interrupts a queued scan, it is marked failed so you can retry it.
Username lookup does not prove you own the chess account. ChessCheatScan is independent of Chess.com and Lichess. Use it only for completed games; scores are indicators of engine-like play, not proof of cheating.
