Let them see you coming.
New profiles are public: your rating once you’ve played five rated games, where your pawn stands, and the stamps you’ve earned. Two switches in Settings, and if you were here already, nothing changes until you say so.
The short version
- New profiles show your rating to anyone who opens them, after five rated games
- Your level and stamps can show too: never your crowns, or where you earned a stamp
- Two switches in Settings: who sees your rating, and who sees your level and stamps
- Here already? Nothing changed. A one-time note on Home asks first
Chess has always been a little public about this sort of thing: club ratings sit on a wall, and you can look up anyone’s online one in a second. So profiles here are public now, too, starting with new ones. Sit down across from someone and you can see who you’re playing.
What shows
Your Castle Gambit rating, once you’ve played five rated games (before that, nobody sees a number, you included). And the public side of your Club card: where your pawn stands on its walk up the board, how many times it’s promoted, and the stamps you’ve earned, Regular and First win and the rest.
What never does
Your crown count, the dates, and where you earned a stamp: “a regular at Riverside” is nobody’s business but yours. Ratings still never appear in the lobby, on the club TV or in pairings, and search engines are still asked not to list your page.
Your call
In Settings, “Who can see your rating?” offers everyone, people in your Castles, or just you, and “Your level and stamps” is everyone or just you. Had an account before today? It’s exactly as you left it. You’ll see a note on Home asking whether you’d like yours public, once. The privacy page has who sees what.
