Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone here plays regularly with Chessconnect on or chess.com tournaments. I'm considering getting into it myself and would really appreciate any insights or advice on how to go about it.

  • How do you typically approach these events when using?

  • What has your experience been like overall?

  • Would you recommend it?

  • Are there any particular challenges or benefits that stand out?

Any feedback or suggestions would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Sunny regards,

Harry

Hi,

I've been playing since the end of 2023 with Chessconnect and an exclusive Millennium board (I added a rotating board for color changes). I've played about 300 games. Mostly 10+5 or 15+10. A few online Lichess 7+3 tournaments.
I always keep a chessboard on screen to see the time, and then when I'm too short, I finish online with the mouse.

This extension is essential. No more proprietary interface.
Jörn is attentive and responsive.
Good game
Laurent

I have a chessup2 board. From my mac, I am unable to pair with the board. Does ChessConnect support Chessup 2 ?. The board seems to be unavailable in the bluetooth pairings

@sainathv: Yes, ChessUp2 is supported. Have you checked the troubleshooting video? If that does not help, please send me a console log.

Do not use the Bluetooth pairing in the Mac.

Just use Chessconnect to connect to the board from the browser.

Also, make sure you have the Chessup board selected in the Chessconnect settings.

I just used the board 2 days ago from a Chromebook and it worked well.

Yes! It works! Thank you so much guys! I had the default ChessNut board in chessconnect settings! Ugh!

I sometime wonder, if it would be better to have no board in the default setting and show a "Please select a board first" message upon first click on connect. What do you guys think?
