Unrated games can pollute a DNA headline

Casual, daily, and arena experiments do not always belong next to your rated rapid. If the import mixes them, read the finding as a mixed pool.

Chessigma reports what that username played. You still choose which clock and ratedness you treat as the real question.

Know what the site filed

Chess.com and Lichess both keep unrated and themed games. A month of variants will move colour and opening cards without teaching you anything about your 15|10 Italian.

If the public preview looks wild, check whether you have been playing arenas. Then import anyway — the silent report after a thin rated sample is still the honest output.

Drill the pool you will play next

A daily correspondence leak is not a blitz drill. Match the training position to the clock you intend to keep.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hide unrated games?

Treat the DNA card as a prompt to open the list. If the games are casual, do not rewrite a rated repertoire from them.

Are variants included?

If they landed on that username’s recent games, they can show up. They are still not standard chess just because the report named a colour gap.
