Part 2: Extract Old Match History (The Browser Console Trick)

Because the older version did not have an "Export Games" button, you can grab every historical game directly out of your browser using Developer Tools:

1. Open the Old App: Log into the old app and make sure your game history list has loaded on the page.
2. Open the Browser Console:
   • Windows / Linux: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + J
   • Mac: Press Cmd + Option + J
   Make sure you click the Console tab at the top of the Developer Tools panel. Tip: If Chrome shows a yellow warning asking you to verify pasting, type allow pasting and press Enter first.
3. Run Either Console Trick Below:
   Option A (Recommended): Auto-Download legacy_games.json 📋 Copy Auto-Download Script

   Paste this into the Console and press Enter — it automatically extracts your games and downloads legacy_games.json straight to your computer:

   (() => { const data = (window.allLoadedGames && window.allLoadedGames.length) ? window.allLoadedGames : Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.history-item')).map((el, i) => ({ legacyDocId: 'dom_' + i, content: el.innerText, scrapedAt: new Date().toISOString() })); const a = document.createElement('a'); a.href = 'data:text/json;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); a.download = 'legacy_games.json'; document.body.appendChild(a); a.click(); a.remove(); console.log('Exported', data.length, 'games!'); })();

   Option B (Classic Clipboard Trick): Copy JSON to Clipboard 📋 Copy Clipboard Command

   Paste this into the Console and press Enter to copy the raw JSON to your clipboard, then paste it into Notepad/TextEdit and save it as legacy_games.json:

   copy(JSON.stringify(window.allLoadedGames || [], null, 2))
