Lichess CSV Games

Introduced by Reid McIlroy-Young et al. in Learning Models of Individual Behavior in Chess23 Aug 2020 archive 2025-07-28

These are processed versions of the monthly lichess database release. Only games with stockfish analysis are included. The games have been converted from pgn to csv and the per move and per game information has been extracted. If you wish to see the original game files download the corresponding standard games database release from Lichess. The game_id column matches that used by lichess. The meaning of each column should be straightforward. The per move information tends to be from the perspective of the active player, although the cp is not, instead the cp_rel columns is the relative centipawn value.
