What we provide
The analysis USA receives, round by round.
All of it is built and running — the same engine that produced the worked example on the partner page, from the real game files of a previous Olympiad. Nothing here is a plan.
A full report after every round
Every board on its own: result, opening, how the evaluation moved through the game, the exact moves that turned it and what each cost, the clock, and the complete move list.
A dossier on the next opponents
Before each round, what every opponent has played at this event — their openings on both colours, their accuracy, their results, and whether they run short of time.
Opening preparation
What actually scores against the move an opponent opens with, measured over thousands of games between players of the same standard — with the sample size on every figure.
Each player across the event
Every round side by side: accuracy, opponent, clock, result — and what changed between the first half and the second. The answer to "is board 3 holding up?"
Per-player NCR profiles
A #myNCR profile for every player in the squad, with their rating history and their own reports — theirs to keep after the event.
A team book at the end
The whole event as one designed PDF: every round, every player, the openings played and the numbers behind them.
