All of your game history is stored under your account profile page.

It is useful to know about the profile, as everyone has one. You can review and export the games of yourself and anyone else.

The standard navigation bar at the top of the site has all the links you need to play, create, watch and analyze the games of others, and more. To review or export your own games from before, click your user name on the right end of the navigation bar.

Here you will see all of your overtime statistics and a list of the recent games you've played. Your periodic history of rating changes is shown as a line graph in green at the top-right, merged into a line graph of the average Lichess rating in blue. For all games you have played (rated or not), your win:loss:draw ratio is displayed as a pie-graph at the top-left.

As an added bonus, if you are viewing the profile of someone besides yourself, you will see a counter just above the success ratio pie graph. This tells you by how many points your Lichess rating will be changed, if you win, draw, or lose against this opponent.

Now, you will also notice that your games are listed as you scroll down the page, which dynamically grows and adds more games as you scroll down further and further to older games. You can filter this list to make it much smaller and find games from a certain category using the links just above the list:

• List only rated games.
• List only games you have won, rated or not.
• List only games you have lost, rated or not.
• List only games you have drawn, rated or not.

Maybe there is a game from so long ago that you are trying to find and don't have the time to scroll near the bottom of the list, no matter what filter you choose. If you remember any of the following details about your game, you can still look it up in your personal database pretty quickly.

• The chronological order of the game's historical creation
• The day, month, year, or server time the game started
• Your opponent's name on Lichess
• Whether White won (1-0), Black won (0-1), or if the game was drawn
• The ultimate means by which the game concluded: resignation, checkmate, abandonment, timeout, invalidity by cheating, stalemate, or drawn by other means
• How many half-moves (or "ply") the game lasted for
• The chess variant played: standard or "Fischer Random" (Chess960) chess
• Your rating when the game started
• The increase (or decrease) by which your rating changed due to the game
• Either of the above two measurements, in your opponent's case
• Part of the Lichess database game identifier

If you remember who your opponent was, you don't need to search your own personal database. You can view your opponent's profile on Lichess and see an additional filter option on their profile for all games played between you and him or her.

Otherwise, it's time to do a game export. All you have to do is click the "export games" link on your profile to download a CSV file, which is really just plain text. You can use most simple text editors to open the file and use Ctrl+F to find a string of text in the form of data that you know about the game. A nice graphical interface for viewing the data on many PC operating systems in a more readable form or converting it to other file formats you might prefer is OpenOffice.org; just be sure in this case to specify upon import of the CSV data to use commas for separation.
