Retrieving Games from Closed Account

I used to rely on Lichess's search feature at lichess.org/games/search, but it was removed 3 weeks ago (details: github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues/13703). Are there any other ways or platforms for searching games from closed accounts?

Appreciate any suggestions!

@LiteMods maybe you could try at the database, i think you can find all games of all accounts but you must download all games and it'll take some hours/days to download them all...

Thank you anyway! But unfortunately, it is even impossible to know when those games were played. I think downloading every single game on Lichess is just too much.

Or maybe there is a tool or website for filtering games in the Lichess database.

It looks like you can access games from closed accounts via this website:
www.openingtree.com/

It was possible in the past, but now opening tree works only with open accounts.

Ah. I just tried it on an account with the label "This account violated the Lichess Terms of Service," and just assumed that that meant the account was closed, but no.

I found a method to view games from closed accounts by replacing {closed_account} with the target account and {opponent_username} with an opponent of the closed account in this URL: @null{opponent_username}/search?&players.b={closed_account}. Although this process can be automated for many {opponent_username}s, the challenge remains in identifying all opponents {opponent_username} of a closed account.

I also think lichess should see about this issue.

Can you please explain your method? which link are you replacing those things?
