Does this board work ...

Going to post this in the three types of boards I won. 

Do any of these boards actually work with Chess.com? 

I have truly only gotten any of them to work with Lichess.

So, for those of you using the SquareOff Pro on chess.com how are you doing it? Does it work well? I have had no luck at all using it here.

So far I have played a total of 6 games on chess.com using my SOP (which happens to be all the games I have played on chess.com).  I connected to chess.com using the Square Off app.  For the most part, each game worked well.  I did have an issue I reported in the issues part of this forum and also did report to Square off.  I won, and it showed correctly on Chess.com, but not on the app.

Thanks @Dpbohr - did you just play a random game? 

I rarely play random games, I have a standing game on Friday's with another player and I can never seem to get it to get the challenge from him. I cannot find him using "Search" so I cannot send the challenge.

@Rsava - Yep, random games.  Just really getting started in chess...so random games it is.  I looked over the Square Off app, and unless I am missing it, it looks like you cannot connect to your friends via Chess.com.  Only friends that are on the Square Off App.  I have to admit, that does prove to be an issue.  I would be curious if the Pegasus will allow you to.  Right now, I have to wait for the updated iOS Chess.com app to be released to use the Pegasus on chess.com, I think only Android users can do that right now.

You can search for your friends on chess.com .

just press the “online play” button and search for your friends in the online list tab.

Thank You @MrCharlieGonzalez 
I just tried, and searched for you, because I wanted to see if it worked, and sure enough, you came up!  Much appreciated!

I use my SOP exclusively on Chess.com and, after a few initial hiccups, it works very well.  No problems at all in the last 10 games.

I know I can play people "live" on Chess.com using my Square Off Pro set....BUT is there some way to play Chess.com bots via Square Off Pro, so my moves and the bot's moves are linked to my Square Off Pro board, just as they are when I play a person "live"...?  I've tried to search for this topic but no luck so far...thanks!

At the moment I have not seen a way to play against the Chess.com bots. Hopefully this is something SquareOff can consider to add in the future.
