MSA feature request

Mike - don’t know if this is on the roadmap for the MSA re-write (actually what is on the roadmap for the MSA?) but it would be an interesting feature to have where I could go to my MSA listing, type in the USCF ID of another player and see my history against this person.

The data is already in the MSA, it’s just the presentation of the data.

Thanks!

Yes, that’s on the wish list along with other statistics, such as how players do against higher and lower rated players (by class.) Once we start collecting color information, we will have the ability to analyze results as white or black too.

In the meantime, if my memory is correct, ask Wayne Zimmerle (wzim) if he has a program that can do that.

Kevin about a year or so ago I stared a thread to highlight some of the ways to get the same kind of features out of the US Chess MSA page. There didn’t seem a lot of interest so I kind of just stopped.

Shortcut to the Greater Peoria Chess Federation web page which makes access to some of the MSA features easier.
