Automated Lichess Student Progress Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Lichess, checks each student's current rating and games played over the prior week, logs a summary row to Google Sheets for every student, and updates a Notion coaching note flagging who needs extra attention this week.
How do I track my chess students' weekly progress on Lichess?
WebRun checks Lichess every Monday for each student's rating and games played, logs a summary to Google Sheets, and updates a Notion coaching note flagging who needs extra attention. It only reads public profile stats, so a chess coach gets a weekly progress scorecard across the whole roster without checking each profile by hand.
- Student rating trends are tracked every Monday without manual checking
- Students who stop playing are flagged for a personal nudge
- Lesson planning starts from a clear weekly coaching note

Questions, answered
Does WebRun analyze games or suggest openings?
No. It only reads rating and game count from public Lichess profiles. Reviewing games and choosing lesson content is always done by the coach.
Does it play games or challenge students on Lichess?
No. It never sends a challenge or plays a move. It only reads existing profile stats.
What if a student's profile is set to private?
Only publicly visible rating and game history can be read, so a private profile simply shows as no new data that week.
