How this archive will grow

Why publish only reviewed profiles

Player profiles require fact checking, legal game replay, media-rights review, video reliability and interaction testing.

Current scope

Each profile covers career records, major results, style and opening observations, five complete games with GIFs, Bilibili-first video indexing, key moments, study paths and source boundaries. Engine analysis, head-to-head pages and opening statistics will arrive as separate batches.
