@Quantenhorst: Was this lichess or chess.com? Can you check the development console for error messages, please? Can you send me the logs?
@all: If you see in the "manage extensions" tab that Chessconnect has thrown any errors, I would very much like to see those messages. You can mail the logs to info at chessconnect.de.
The more feedback I receive, the more robust I can make the software.

Chess.com - will send something to you if I can get my hands on useful logs.
The connection is dropping half way though a game, it will Register my opponents move but when I make my move the from and to leds light up on my board but the move doesn't Register in Chess.com. so I manually input it thorough the website and the opponents response the shows on the board.
I have experienced this too, but I think it's simply because the pieces aren't all in the right place. It seems like the move isn't registering, but really it's because the software thinks the board isn't set up correctly and therefore does not input the move.
Often the LEDs indicating that a piece is off are hidden behind or beneath pieces. I adjust the pieces and things work smoothly again.
I don't think this is a software issue, but it might be. I have seen other people express a desire for more LEDs per square than the Chessnut Air has - one per square is easily hidden from view.
Same here. Had a couple of game lastly where I had to refresh the page and re-connect the board. LED light up but the move won't register on the website. Don't think this is due to piece placement though.
It no longer working with the new updates , Can no longer use with my mac book air OS 14 . the old program was easy to use , with the update moves do not show or register + pairing stop working with the chessnut air board . This was on both lichess & chess.com .
Please can you do a fix ASAP Thank you .
Hi Lighthouse,
thank you for reaching out. The new version underwent a thorough beta testing phase before I released it. But then again, this is the life of a software developer: problem always only show up after release day. 😑
That having said, the code for Chessnut Air on Bluetooth (that is what you are trying to do, right) did not really change that much. I just tried an played a game on my Mac running macOS 14.2.1 with my Chessnut Air and had no problems. Well, despite losing to Soccer Magnus.
Here, I have compiled a list of steps on what to do, when Chessconnect isn't working properly. I would ask you to go through this steps and send me the logs as described on that page. I am certain, we can sort this out.
I would very much appreciate, if spent the time to gather as much information as possible. You will help making Chessconnect a better tool for everyone.
🙏
FYI - Just tried it in MS Edge on Lichess and it worked great. v 0.3.16.
Very fast, have move latency set at 250 ms, going to go down to 100 next.

Can you download the extension ' chessconnect' in the Edge Browser?
Yes, in Edge search for chrome web store
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions
and it tells you at the top of the page that
"Chrome Extensions work in Microsoft Edge"
Worked perfectly for me.

Big Thank You Jörn , Works very well with Mac OS 14+ 
using the Chessconnect my Chessnut will not transfer the moves I make on the board to either Chess.com or Lichess. yet it still lights up the LEDs on my board. My opponents moves show fine
Hello @joernupbde - I do not remember if this has been asked for (perhaps even by me 
, old age is hard) - is it possible to have 2 Lichess profiles in the Extension?
I have a test account that I use to try things out with the board/extension but tonight I went to play an actual game and I forgot it was using the test account API token. As soon as I inserted the correct token and login name, the board came alive (and I was in the middle of the game), it knew exactly where the pieces were at and registered my opponents next move instantly.
Would be great if it we were able to quickly switch accounts.
I understand if it cannot be done, it is not a big deal I will just use two different browsers for now.
Appreciate all the hard work on this, when I finally got the token figured out, the board performed flawlessly.

Hi Dirtbag,
that is strange. LEDs lighting up means communication with the board works. Transfer of moves to lichess and chess.com are two _completely_ mechanisms. Can you please have a look and my troubleshooting section and if possible, send me some logs? Let me know, if you need more help gathering the logs.

Hi Rsava,
that would not be too difficult. However, I am not sure how many people would benefit from this feature. If a few more raise there hand and request multiple lichess tokens to be managed, I will put it in.
Otherwise I'll put on the list of possible new features for when I run out of ideas. 😇
Support for the Sentio line of boards from TabuTronic is now in beta. Anybody here, who owns such a board and is willing to do some testing?
And another one: thanks to @agatti1970 and the super helpful people at DGT, USB support for DGT boards is now in beta, too.
I honestly cannot believe how fast this project is growing.
So all DGT boards? Can I hook my Pegasus up via USB?
Chessconnect works really with the new House of Staunton sensory board. I played several bots and standard games and it worked as expected.
So all DGT boards? Can I hook my Pegasus up via USB?
I am not sure. Bluetooth with DGT is something that I am still looking into. And I am not yet sure, if it can be done. Does the Pegasus have a USB port? If so, I can send you the current beta and you could try.
@joernupbde - I do not think the Pegasus USB is for connecting to the computer, I think it is just charging. I was just wondering if it was supported, if not no big deal I still have the Air and the Millenium e-One to use.
I do have two questions:
1. How can we tell which version we have installed? I do not see that anywhere. I am assuming that I have the latest.
2. What do the options of "Learn new chess pieces" and "Forget learned chess pieces" do? What's purpose?
Thanks. Hope you like tea because you are about to get some more.

Thank you for the tea! That is much appreciated.
1.) In chrome go to "manage extensions". There you can see the version number for all extensions you have installed. Most recent for Chessconnect is 3.16 (or 3.18, if you are a beta tester, which you are)
2) Learn and forget pieces is for the Certabo and Cerno boards which have RFID chips that initially are not bound to any piece value. You can read more about this here.
