How to use Clocked

Everything you need to know to get the most out of your scouting reports.

Create your account

Sign up at clocked-ai.com. You get 3 free scouting reports every month with no card required. During signup you can save your Lichess and Chess.com usernames so Clocked can show your personal head to head record against any opponent you scout.

💡 Tip: Add your chess usernames during signup to unlock head to head history automatically.

Scout your opponent

On the home page select your platform — Lichess or Chess.com. Enter your opponent's username and click SCOUT. Clocked will pull their last 20 games, analyse their patterns and generate a full scouting report in seconds.

💡 Tip: Make sure you select the right platform. A Lichess username will not work on Chess.com and vice versa.

Read your scouting report

Your report includes everything you need to prepare. The headline gives you a quick summary of the player. The threat level tells you how dangerous they are. Scroll through to see their weaknesses, opening intel, time pressure behaviour, head to head record and the HOW TO CLOCK THEM section which gives you the exact first move to play, the key plan to execute and what to avoid.

⚔ HOW TO CLOCK THEM

This is the most important section. It tells you the exact first move to play against this opponent, the single most important plan to execute during the game, and what NOT to do. Study this before you sit down to play.

Refine your report

Use the REFINE bar to filter by time control. If you are playing a blitz game against this opponent, select Blitz to see their stats specifically for that format. This gives you much more targeted intelligence than an all-time overview.

💡 Tip: Pro users can also change the number of games analysed (10, 20, 30 or 50) for even more accurate reports.

Explore their openings

Click Open Explorer at the bottom of your report to step through your opponent's most played openings move by move on an interactive board. Switch between As White and As Black to see both sides. Use the arrow buttons to step through the moves and flip the board to see it from your perspective.

💡 Tip: Study their top 2 openings as White and Black before your game. Knowing what to expect in the first 5 moves is a massive edge.

Share your report

Use the Share report button to copy a link to your report. Free users get a link that expires after 24 hours. Pro users get a permanent link. You can also use the Share on X button to post directly to Twitter with a pre-filled message letting your opponent know you've done your homework.
