Recover history of chess matches from a user
Hi, people!

I wanted to know if there is any way of recovering my dad's chess games. He used to play a lot here in the past, but he passed away last year.

I wish I could use his games to train a machine learning model that mimics his style, so that I could feel like playing with him again.

I tried to log into his account using the credentials I found in his email inbox, but I get the message that his account has been deactivated. But I search his nickname ("juracypark") and his statistics are there.

Is it possible to retrieve his matches?

Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon diego182,
I understand perfectly what you want, but if the account is deactivated it is very difficult to reactivate it, and even if there was that possibility for you to analyse all game movements, you would have to have saved in your possession the backup of the "PGN" files which I believe that your father has not saved them, right?
However, not wanting to remove your hopes, try to contact our moderation team to confirm or not this possibility.
Good luck👍

Regards
