Connection to my millenium board - I want to play the bots

Why can't I play the bots or the execises on my millenium board?

Ok, I understand that the ios versions of the chess.com App does not support the external board. But also with the android version the fun is limited. 

Why is it only possible to run live games on the board? It is not possible to play the bots or the execises on my physical board. sad.png

Would be great to see there an improvement.

The bot boards don't have the code needed to connect. e-board owners are likely a small group, and those that want to use them to play the site bots are likely even smaller, so adding that support is going to be very low priority.

Thank you Martin. Sorry to hear that. I was under the impression, that once you have the code, to transfer moves from the side into the e-board it should not be that difficult to extend the input to the trainings and bot engines.

My work around today is to transfer the training execises to a different engine to play on my board.

I have a millenium king performance plugged into my pc. I have the chrome extension yet nothing happens. how do I make this work? Does the board need to be in "clink mode?"

Do you have the DGT toggle on within the Play settings?

Do you mean like timed games?

I run my millenium via the chesslink box and bluetooth. I can use the link to play bots, all online game formats and I also use the board to analyse and use the drill exercises.
