Connected Accounts & Player Profile

The Player Profile and Connected Accounts sections of Settings store your identity information. Nothing here is sent to any server — it is stored entirely on your machine.

Go to Settings from the left sidebar to access both sections.

Player Profile

The Player Profile section stores your name as it appears in PGN headers. Masterboard uses this to identify which games are yours across all imported PGN files — for example, to attribute accuracy percentages to the correct player and to detect personal games for statistics features.

Your name

Enter your name in the format it appears in PGN [White] and [Black] headers (for example, Carlsen, Magnus or Magnus Carlsen). Matching is case-insensitive.

If your name appears in different formats across different sources, add one row per format:

1. Enter the first format in the initial field.
2. Click + Add variant to add another row.
3. Enter the second format (e.g. Magnus Carlsen if the first row is Carlsen, Magnus).

Masterboard checks all variants when identifying your games.

Making changes

Changes are saved automatically when you leave a field. No restart is required.

Connected Accounts

The Connected Accounts section stores your chess platform usernames.

Chess.com username

Enter your chess.com username. When set, Masterboard pre-fills the username field in the Import dialog’s Chess.com tab, so you do not have to type it each time.

Lichess username

Enter your Lichess username. Same behaviour — pre-fills the Lichess import username field.

Making changes

Changes take effect immediately. No restart is required.
