I found that when castling, to move the king and wait for chess.com to castle before moving the rook over. At times I do forget to wait, after moving the King and move the Rook over quickly. What happens to me in this case the Rook only moves! So, remember move the King and wait for chess.com to Castle before moving the over Rook. There are no problems when you castle in this manner!

I followed the instructions at the beginning of this thread, it worked for me on my macbook pro. A few times there was a long delay between when I moved my piece and when it registered on the site, but overall it was pretty smooth.
Now I just wish I could figure out how to get the dgt pi clock to work so I can play against that as well!

I'm not trying to get it to work with chess.com, I'm trying to get it to work on it's own. For some reason it's squawking at me to "set pieces" every time I try to start a game and make a move.

I saw that review as well. Moved the board and tested it with that rabbit plugin, checked out fine. Works fine on livechess on my mac. Tried reinstalling the software on the SD card, still no luck. I don't know what to make of it. Sent an email to the DGT folks, waiting to see what they say.

I'm an idiot.
I checked the board again with the rabbit plugin and for some reason I must have missed that one of the black bishop pieces is faulty and doesn't register being on the board. That must be the reason behind all my toil and troubles.

OK. I agree. So DTG should replace that one, 'BAD BISHOP'<ha, see what i did there> with no issue. In the mean time. Setup the board, but on the DGT PI, setup the board with position, or normally with no BISHOP for now, by going to Menu, POSITION, set 'SIDE TO MOVE' set the orientation of the sides w/b or b/w, 960 = yes or no, then 'SCANBOARD'. it will scan the board, and you can play from there.
OR you ALSO remove the same color Bishop for white, and play with computer, from there. that way the odds, aren't too skeewed. Like if you want it to play White, if you play Black.
You then should be able to play around with end games, positions, or start from Standard position , minus the BAD BISHOP< HAHAH, see what i did there> until DGT replaces it. Hope this helps!!!
Thanks for the info jv2080, I'll be trying that. In the meantime I have contacted the seller and they are shipping me a replacement piece.

The issue that you don't have the plugin working nor the board could be an indication of your computer having issues. I"d try uninstalling 'DGT Live', all dgt software, and Chrome for that matter, then re-install it, or set it up under another user name. If you don't have another windows user, create one to test if installing/using under another name will work. I hope this works.
I have always had some issues with DGT software, it's not my computer that's any wrong with. Come on, if one should start uninstalling software to install it again then clearly its the software developers that made some wrong coding. Always some issues with DGT.
Thanks for the tips though I appreciate it, this solution did not work either.
Any other ideas?

I've just completed a test game successfully the only issue being slow update for pawn promotion. This is with Windows 10 64bit and Chrome with Voice.
A "bong" noise would be nice if you move the opponent's piece to the wrong square 🙂
I've asked on the beta forum so will see what they say.
Anyone else having the same issues as me?
DGT: Connected. Please make the moves to sync the board it says on chess.com, I followed the instructions from the video exactly, but no moves no sound. I have restarted the browser and computer. I have joined the beta, I have checked for DGT board under settings on chess.com and I have checked that Live Chess from DGT has a connection with my board. Everything should be working but nothing, no sound from the extension and no moves on chess.com from my DGT USB board. Someone knows why? Is google chrome still compatible or do we have to use Microsoft Edge? Anyone help?
My opinion was not pointed against you personally, just my personal opinion of DGT software in general. So no critique against you at all. I thanked you for your help, and I do appreciate you try to help me out.
I can't understand it could be a driver issue when everything in DGT Live is working, showing the moves, and on chess.com it says my DGT board is connected. Also when I use it in Fritz or Chessbase the board works 100% so no issues there either. With DGT Pi it also works 100% that's why I am lost for solutions when I want to use it with Chess.com.
Sorry if it seemed like I was not appreciative for your advice, it was not directed towards you.
I am grateful for any other tips advice yu may give:-)
This is fantastic 
The only thing this needs to be perfect is for the DGT Pi clock to sync with clock online... or is that already possible? I can't figure out how to do it.

e-DGT is old school now. What we need at Chess.com and LiChess is self-moving pieces!

I bought the DGT Smart Board and plastic pieces last year and got a black bishop with the sensor of a white bishop. That is the software displayed and looked at it as a white bishop. Support was excellent and replaced it without any cost. I still could move the pieces around, that was working.

For those who cannot see the Beta button, apparently you need some activity points, in order to get points you have to comment on something, from my understanding.

I tried out the connection and it works well overall! Here's a video on how to set it up with some actual play. I recommend 15 minute games or longer although in my demonstration I did 5 minute rated live chess.
Thank you very much for your vid. I did everything to the letter and it doesnt work consistently for me. I wonder if you have another insight? i have the wooden dgt rosewood board with the same pieces as yours. In DGT livechess I can see the pieces are all ok and connected to the system. In chess.com the moves i make on the board appear intermittent on the screen and i have to sometimes move using the mouse. There is no voice commands. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading.
I think you did all correctly. I think they are still working out the issues. you may have to restart and reconnect to Live as well. Make sure you see the moves in the preview window in the lower left corner in live, when you select your board in Live. Clear cookies/cache in Chrome . Restart Chrome and give another go. I think they are still working out the issues. I've had same type of issues. I accidentally abandoned 2 games because of this.
Your solution did not work any other ideas?
