Thanks!

I read somewhere that you have to be a member for at least 30 days and earned activity points to see the beta option. Just want to know if that is still necessary. And yes, I'm posting this to get some points ;-)

As far as I know that’s still true.Β

Many thanks for your swift response, chesshouse. Seconds after I sent my previous post the option was enabled. Have still a great day!

Help! I can't get my DGT board to work again. It worked for awhile but not now. The DGT setting is on and live chess is working and registering moves but I never get a message that my board is connected on Chess.com. Another thing is I never had a beta option even when it was working. It works fine on Lichess.

does anyone know if the chess.com app for iOS and Android is now supporting Boards from DGT or Millennium?

You can now use a Millennium board If you have their ChessLink accessory.

We can dream πŸ›Œ πŸ’­Β

Yes, Millennium boards are now supported on Chess.com Android App.Β  iOS is almost here as well. Probably a few weeks behind.Β  We'll publish a video in the next week or so.

Millennium boards supported will be Exclusive, Performance, and Tournament because they interface with the Link device which adds bluetooth capability.

Please update when you hear more as I really want a physical board that can play on chess.com and maybe sometimes the other site.Β  But I am 100% iOS.Β  The DGT Pegasus will do the job but no app released yet and the product keeps getting delayed!.....but the Pegasus looks more like a cheap portable solution.

I would rather go the Millennium route and have a nice wooden board.

Does anybody know if it is possible to play against the Engines (Bots) with Chesslink on a King Performance Millenuim board on chess.com, or is it simply online play against human opponents.Β

Steve take a look here and the video:

https://computerchess.com/en/chesslink-3/#chess-com

You can see he is playing Stockfish.Β  The White Pawn app works with iOS and Android but only links to the "other" chess website for live play.Β  The chess.com app works with Android but not iOS.

But sounds like in just a few weeks we will have the option of the whole lot - play the computers and online via Android or iOS.

Is this ever going to make it to other areas like: playing vs computer, training, lessons, private lessons etc?! Its been 4 years and still no progress or am I missing something?
