DGT e-Board

Hello together

My name is Tom and I am new to the forum. First of all, I'm fascinated by how quickly you can find a player for a nice game of chess. Also the platform is very cool made. Nevertheless I have three question:

I log in with a DGT e-board. For this I have installed the appropriate software. According to instructions on the Internet, I have to select "Beta" via settings. Unfortunately, this option does not appear for me. What am I doing wrong here? I can select the option "DGT e-Board" for live games, but unfortunately not for all chess games (for example against the Comupter).

I would also like to play against the computer with the e-Board. But this option is not available. Is it only applicable via "Beta"?

If I select the option "DGT e-Board" in live games, the first three moves work wonderfully. After that, however, the board no longer responds.

I also installed the Google Chrome Addon for announcing the moves, but I do not hear any announcement by voice.

Thanks for the help

Best regards
Tom

There are a limited number of beta slots.

Keep checking. They regularly open up.

You don't need to be in the beta to turn on the setting. However, it may only work in Play > Live Chess and not in Play (/online) ... though I'm not sure on that and don't have a DGT board to test with.

 

The same for voice announcements; I think it only works in the old interface.
