Here I'm playing against Maia9 bot on Lichess with the Genifox electronic chessboard (you can also play blitz, say 5+5 or better, moves synching is super-fast):

Freakin' amazing !

Where can I get the chrome version app? I could not find it in Google store thanks. I got Chinese version of same eboard called yihu

You can download the Android version app directly from yihuchess dotcom (there is no Google Store version), once installed you need to update it so that you get the interface fully translated into English. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.

Looks great. I downloaded app. But worried about ban from chess.com and lichess. I used same app on iPad and played on both sites for weeks. One day, I was not able to find any game. After I checked with both sites. They said they restricted my account after detected suspicious action. Even after I explained I used eboard, They still kept my account freeze. I had to open new account. Hope you don’t have this. Now I only use it on Chinese site chess alliance on iPad. The board feel great.

I'm sorry to hear about that. And for my part, no warning so far. I'm going in for further tests and get back to you, if necessary. Make sure to use only the Genifox/Yihu chess app. As for the Chess Alliance app (downloaded from Chessease, the Android version), I just couldn't sign up. Maybe no login for european players ? You happen to know how I might sign-up/login to Alliance platform ? Thanks and best wink

The board looks nice and glad to see more e-boards enter the market, but I'm not a fan of the unnecessarily pronounced LEDs.

On chess alliance you can ask the app to send a code to your phone . It works well on my ipad app but did not work on android app. It also allows to use Chinese messaging app to login but you may not have it

Actually, that's the first thing I tried: I entered my cell number (of course, +39 for Italy), no validation code received (Android app). I'll get in touch with chessease, we'll see what they say. In the meantime, I'm translating the (Android app) UI from english into italian. Let's hope for Chessconnect (and Graham's drivers as well) support, that would be really nice. Anyhoo, great board.
