Better sliding support for DGT board

First is it appropriate to post topics with the DGT board?

With the DGT board playing on chess.com sliding moves must be done extremely fast. Three examples:

• For example, when sliding the bishop from f1 to b5, then back to c4. If one leaves the bishop for just a split second on b5, the software already registers this as the final move.
• For example, sliding a piece "through" other pieces is extremely difficult to do this fast enough without displacing pieces, which could trigger other unwanted moves.
• The same for promoting. When sliding a pawn to the last rank, including replacing the pawn with the promotion piece must be done extremely fast. Otherwise, no move is registered. Promotion by lifting the pawn is fine.

Can you think about making the timeout for sliding configurable? That would be great.

I agree with all the above. For what its worth the official Rabbit drivers have options in for this. There is a setting called "Use Move delay only for extendable moves":-

You can see there is also a Stabletime setting which says how long the board has to remain unchanged before the move gets transmitted.

Now I don't think the implementation using the LiveChess software uses the Rabbit driver but maybe there are other options that the team can look into to improve the handling of such things.

At present sliding pieces can sometimes make the move register too soon, and castling can also be problematic if you slide the king.

Personally I always lift the pieces when I use the board to get around this, but not everyone does, obviously.

@BaronVonChickenpants  i can confirm that the Rabbit plugin and livechess 2.2.5 are completely different programs and work completely independantly of each other.   you can only use the rabbit plugin with the fritz chess programs and also with playchess.com and i believe ICC but i dont play there, so cant fully confirm that ?  when you use your DGT board with either chess.com or lichess.org then you must only use the livechess 2.2.5 software, the rabbit plugin is not compatible with these chess sites. 

Sliding using Acid Ape Chess and playing on lichess works fine. I want to use that on chess.com as well. It's so much closer to OTB. Any hope around?
