Well it's mid March and no word on the IOS interface to Chess.com. It remains in chess.com's best interest to fix this problem.

@frhunter13 - I think the conversation we were having in the main forums hit on an important point. 

For chess.com it is not that big of a push - as one poster put it there are not a lot of board users in the overall chess.com system for them to make it any kind of priority (I think this is the biggest reason). At any given time there are what, 200,000 (?) users online - of those, how many have e-boards? Less than 1% (Call it 1500 of those 200,000,and that may be generous.)

In addition, they would not get the ad impressions/revenue that they would get if the users play on the site itself, and they are all about that ad stuff. I think this is a lower ranked reason since the number of overall players with the e-boards is not that high.

Yes that makes sense, Rsava. However the upper reaches of the chess community should realize that the lower and middle reaches vastly outnumber them, and out finance them completely. Where does most of the prize money come from? Other than the sugar daddies? It come from the chess proletariat. Those to whom chess is only a hobby. Also I believe as the price of the e-boards comes down, many more will justify the cost. The dues millions of middle and lower rated players justify all of these chess playing sites.  When they first started out, many failed because of funding. I still remember playing with text message moves on the bbs telephone modem sites. If the internet sites become arrogant now, that is sad.

All that said, if you cant beat them - join them. Just ordered a SAMSUNG notepad with Android 11, heh. Will let you know how it works out later this week.

Well Cant get the DGT app to work with chess.com on my android Galaxy either. When I hit Connected Board on the Galaxy Chess.com Ap. it does not see the pegasus even though it does see it in the bluetooth screen. Furthermore when on the DGT App and trying to select Chess.com, it does nothing. So it seems I wasted money on the Galaxy 7 as well.

@frhunter13 - Did you connect it via BT to the Galaxy 7? 

You should not connect it via BT, so if you did that, forget the board in BT settings and look in Chess.com app again. 

Also, what version Android version are you on? My Tab A (2016) is on 8.1.0.

Yes I did but it did not work when it was not bluetooth connected. DGT sees the board though.

I tuned my Iphone bluetooth off. Went into settings on the Galaxy and bluetooth NOT connected to Pegasus. Went to Chess.com and found connected boards. ZERO connected boards. So it is not finding the Pegasus although DGT is seeing it. Then I hist Chess.com on the DGT app and nothing happens. So I connected the Galaxt by bluetooth to the Pegassu. STILL "no connected boards".

How can you not connect the Galzy to the Pegasus. I finds it when you boot the Galxy up!

Ich hatte das gleiche Problem und habe dann irgend etwas an den Einstellungen des Galaxy 7 verändert. Ich weiß aber nicht mehr genau was es gewesen ist. Es könnte sein, dass ich den Standort-Modus aktivieren musste. Jedenfalls funktionierte es dann plötzlich.

Google translate of the above ^^^^^ message:

 

I had the same problem and then changed something in the settings of the Galaxy 7. But I don't remember exactly what it was. It could be that I had to activate the location mode. Anyway, it suddenly worked.

Rsava: Well are you going through the DGT app? If you remember please let me know. Rather frustrated here. Mine is a Galaxy 7 light. It sees the board fine. So does the dgt App. So CHESS.COM SEEMS THE PROBLEM

Avatar of Rsava

I can connect in the DGT app or the chess.com app. Here is a screenshot of the chess.com app connected board (taken with my iPhone camera, don't know how to do screenshots on Android, I've only had the device for 4 years ...):

Cant read that but I cannot seem to get there whatever I try. I get nothing on my connected board screen. Can you give exact sequence of your procedure?

 

Avatar of frhunter13

Can you show what your bluetooth screen looks like when you are successfully connected?

Avatar of Rsava

You can't read that screen?

I open the chess.com app on the tablet. 

I touch the "More" option on the bottom right (it has the hamburger menu).

I touch the 7th option down, "Settings".

I touch the 7th option down, "Connected Boards".

It appears in the list under "Other Devices". 

If it does not appear there I touch the area that says "Don't see your chessboard on the list? ..." and a white box comes up on the screen with my board (and a couple other BT devices in the room). I touch the Pegasus Board and it connects. 

Give me a bit and I will post the pics you asked for.

Well I get the dgt app recognizing pegasus and paired to the bluetooth on the Galaxy. Both show connections to pegasus. Chess.com WILL not link.  Have asked them to explain. This is an andoid device that is supposed to work with DGT and chess.com.

My connected boards screen is totally blank. No list at all.

By the way Lichess works fine on the Android. Chess.com is still a problem.
