When processing games, it shows a few select games, which is a nice feature. However, for me, two of the games did not progress beyond the starting position, likely because they were variant games, which showed the standard starting position. I usually play Racing Kings with those players. I am unsure if this affects the process, but it is something that can be looked into. Happy to share a screenshot if needed.

Tactical awareness is quite a nice metric. Is it at all possible to back it up to share deeper insights, such as what captures one misses or how exactly they fail to take advantage? I also think merely overlaying the puzzle dashboard indicators (which is quite well thought out!) with resourcefulness will let me know what is constantly being missed. Now I know I am asking for too much, but if some games could be linked as examples, the tool would likely be unparalleled.
Thanks again for constantly developing Lichess! Hats off to the team.

The tutor was analyzing some of my variant games as standard chess which was kinda odd.

It's really good! I saw all my things and when I could get better in and is useful!

I wonder if tactics by piece would be interesting, since insights does have piece specific information already it might be possible

Can you provide a particular insights URL of the metric you want to try against piece type?

Wow! Awesome tool, thank you so much!
I noticed, however, that Tutor included one of my ongoing correspondence games in its check. Would this potentially interfere with statistics or analyze the game before it finishes?

Are you looking for something like this?
Tactical Awareness/Game Phase - filtered by piece (knight) - https://lichess.org/insights/sriramprasad/awareness/phase/piece:knight
Here, if I know how I miss punishing my opponents' blunder in moving the knight (given I have 65.1% in the middle game), like missing a fork for instance, it would really enhance the tool. This is where I suggest something like the puzzle graph overlay. Also, if I understand correctly, insights is absolute (checks against Stockfish) while tutor is a relative comparison (checks against other players of my strength) - so just adding an insights type metric would also be helpful.

Looks great! Apparently I am good at converting winning positions (and not to a loss), which surprises me! I also am slow as molasses, which doesn't surprise me.
I am sure this will be really helpful to see which parts of my game and which openings I need to work on.
How does it analyze all my games though? Surely that would take an incredibly long time? Is it just at a really low depth?

It does tell you how you fare on your most played openings https://lichess.org/tutor/AsDaGo/blitz/opening
It analyses all games, but not all games go through Stockfish. At the moment a tutor report triggers 100 new stockfish analysis, and also reuses all the analysis that were already available of course.

I like the results of the calculations. Well done. It's a structured overview showing the input / output of each concept.
I would have preferred median rating instead of average rating, but I guess you know best. When I saw the word "Conversion" it was unclear to me what it meant. So I searched in the AI dictionary and started chatting, prompting and polishing each concept, one at a time:
The Principle Insights of Improvement
-
Opening: How well you follow established theory and reach a stable position. > "In the opening, a player should strive to develop his pieces as harmoniously as possible. — José Raúl Capablanca" {Memorized patterns Sound development} The goal isn’t to win immediately, but to reach a playable middlegame without falling into a trap. Occupy the center, develop efficiently, and prioritize king safety.
-
Middlegame: Your ability to find plans and coordinate pieces once out of book. > "A plan is only as good as the moves that carry it out. — Mikhail Botvinnik" {Strategic planning Tactical execution} This is where every move must answer why. Improve piece activity or provoke a weakness in the opponent’s position.
-
Tactical Awareness: How often you take advantage of your opponent's mistakes. > "When you see a good move, look for a better one. — Emanuel Lasker" {Pattern recognition Material gain} Stay vigilant to avoid "hanging" pieces and be ready to convert the opponent’s oversights into decisive, calculated strikes.
-
Endgame: Your technical proficiency in positions with few pieces remaining. > "To improve at chess, study the endgame first. — Capablanca" {Technical precision Converted wins} With fewer pieces on the board, mistakes are less forgiving. This is where you discover the true power of tempos, piece coordination, and the ultimate art of the passed pawn.
-
Conversion: How effectively you push a significant advantage to a victory. > "When you have an advantage, do not complicate; simplify. — Emanuel Lasker" {Potential advantage Actual result} With methods from the masters, a player can neutralize counterplay and convert their advantage into a win.
-
Accuracy: How closely your moves match the top engine recommendations. > "The winner is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake. — Savielly Tartakower" {Objective evaluation Positional stability} By objectively selecting the most appropriate moves, you maintain the status quo and limit your opponent’s chances for counterplay.
-
Clock Time Usage: Time management is the correlation between time spent and move quality. > "The clock is a piece—use it. — Savielly Tartakower" {Decision efficiency Time pressure} Play the opening efficiently, ponder wisely in the middlegame, and you’ll be better positioned to avoid time trouble in the endgame.
-
Speed: Your ability to maintain move quality under fast time controls. > "Think with purpose, then move with confidence. — Bobby Fischer" {Efficient evaluation Competitive tempo} Moving quickly alone doesn’t win games, but maintaining both quality and a tempo advantage prevents losses in equal positions when the clock is low.
-
Flagging Skills: Your success rate in winning drawn or lost positions on time. > "Victory is the ultimate goal; every move should bring you closer to it. — Inspired by Capablanca" {Chaos creation Victory on the clock} The practical art of creating complexity and posing difficult positions wears down the opponent’s remaining time.
-
Resourcefulness: Your ability to create counter-chances and swindles in a losing position. > "No one ever won a game by resigning. — Savielly Tartakower" {Defensive creativity Saved points} The skill of navigating rough moments balances persistence with obstinacy. Find a path to a draw, a swindle, or a win on time, no matter the position.
The Final Insight: Chess is about self-control, humility, and integrity. Study your weaknesses; do not rest upon your strengths.
