## Why this bot exists
For many players, especially active ones, it’s easy to lose track of how much they play, how they perform, and how their training evolves.
`LichessStat_bot` offers a convenient way to see that information in one place — compact, color-coded, and easy to read.
It does not analyze positions, give advice, or modify anything related to gameplay.
It simply helps players understand their activity patterns.
