Profile Data
The ICU stores information about chess players. The data on each player is called a profile. Some profile data (such as name and club) is publicly available on our websites while other data (such as date of birth and contact details) is only for users with privileged access (see Privacy Policy for details). Some profile data can be updated by players themselves if they have a login account.
For various reasons, we can't allow players to directly control their entire profile. For example, we would need to be contacted about corrections to date of birth, gender or federation as such changes would have to be passed on to FIDE. Another example would be that the temptation to award themselves the GM title might be too much for some!
What Parts of my Profile can I Update Myself?
You can update the following data yourself:
- club,
- contact email address (not necessarily the same as the email you use to sign in),
- home, mobile and work telephone numbers,
- postal address.

- sign in,
- click your name (on the right side of the top navigation bar),
- click Profile,
- click Edit Profile.
- make whatever changes you want,
- click Save.
