This video shows you the steps to connect, install, and enable your DGT chess board for play on chess.com. I recommend games of 15 minutes or more because you’ll be making moves for both players. Be prepared to swivel the board on your table depending on who is playing white or black. Also, and maybe most important, this demonstration shows you how to enable the voice move announcements so that you do not need to be looking at a computer screen. This works in Google Chrome. I’m using Windows 10 for this demonstration.
The DGT Board is the Smartboard with coordinates. I have paired it with the Timeless wooden pieces which are not the standard plastic pieces that come with the Smart Board but are another compatible design typically paired with the Walnut or other wooden DGT boards. So far, I don’t think there is compatibility with the DGT Pi or DGT Clocks while playing on chess.com. But neither is it really relevant in my opinion when you can hear the moves announced and keep your eyes on the board play.

That video shows that it picks up the wrong moves. It showed you playing d6 as your second move when you actually played D5 on the board.

I understood from reading the Dgt website that it is supposed to allow you to slide your pieces to their destination square.
How does promoting and casting work?
I'm a relatively new user on Chess.com and I'm finding this video helpful and informative. I just learned that the BETA account option shows up after 30 days account age.
thank you for posting the video it really helped me out
thanks again

You can't play with their new Computer Paly bots, but you can kind the Komodo bots and challenge them in Live Chess and play that way:-

These seem to no longer work? It looks like he is looking for an opponent at random when i try a non rated vs komodo8
Hey folks, it's Raphael with Chess House. I just spent 15 minutes learning how to do this. It's working great on my Windows 10 system with Chrome. It's announcing the moves with the Chrome plug in for chess.com also.
I'm really happy with the setup and how smoothly this worked once I figured out what settings it needs.
Would you like me to record and share a video on the steps to do this? What questions do you have? I'll shoot and share something.
