Archetyped: Know You & Your Lichess Opponents

About

Archetyped takes your chess game to the next level by showing key info about you and your opponent—right next to usernames, in the form of emojis—while you play.

Why does that matter? Knowing if someone’s crushing it or on a losing streak can change how you approach the game. Think of it like bringing the advantages of game prep to online chess.

🔑 Why you need Archetyped 🔑

1. Get the scoop on yourself and your opponents at a glance —Win/loss streaks, recent rating swings, usual game speed, and how often they play. Knowing your opponent’s tendencies means you're not going in blind.

2. See Archetypes when they matter — These are more than just emojis. They’re a quick read on who you're facing, giving you insight in real-time so you can adapt your strategy.

3. Visualize all your data and insights in a clean dashboard at www.archetyped.lol — Easily track your performance trends, uncover hidden patterns in your gameplay, and see where you (and your opponents) excel or struggle. These insights give you a clear roadmap to improve your strategy and outsmart your competition.

🌟 The Archetypes 🌟

"Trending" = They’re either on fire or in a slump—playing 100+ points better or worse than their usual level over the last 10 games.
"In Flow" = Winning a lot or losing a lot—this one shows if they’re on a streak (good or bad).
"Wild Card" = They’re unpredictable—taking down players they shouldn’t, or dropping games they should’ve won. Expect surprises.
"Devoted" = They play way more chess than most people. The grind never stops for them.
"Speed" = They’ve got a favorite mode—Bullet, Blitz, or Rapid. You’ll know if they live in the fast lane.
