Hi everyone,
I'm little disappointed for the fact that it was no easy to find guide about how to play with a dgt board on live chess.
Yeah, I know, now with the "beta" (end even without I guess) you can select "play with a dgt board", and use "DGT Live chess" software to connect that to the computer, (in my case, a Bluetooth connection); but even with that, the connection is bad, almost every move you play you face 2/3 seconds of delay, and sometimes you'll get some surprise too.
The result is that you can only play long games, even 25+5 is fine.
And it's bad cause other networks, such as lichess, Fics (free internet chess server), ICC (chessclub.com) have found a way to let you play super fast, with your dgt.
Their solution was to give the "connection" (I don't know how to call it) to the "Acid Ape Chess" application (IOS, Android... ) and with this app (I actually bought the grandmaster version, cause I was really into find a way to play fast as my dgt) you can buy the drivers for the dgt bluetooth and, once everything is connected (so easy to do it) you can literally play in every FREE site above, fast, with you dgt.... and you do not even have to watch a screen or something, cause the phone will say the oppenent moves, even when the phone is locked....
So the reason why I'm writing this post is, first to let people like me, who bought a dgt (that is not an easy effort) to at lease know that there are sites and ways where you can enjoy even fast time control game.
The second thing, is why chess.com is not giving us a good way to play with our dgts, or at least, why chess.com is not giving the opportunity to Acid Ape Chess app, to connect the site!
The all point, at the end of the day, is that I pay every month, a Diamond membership with chess.com ... cause I love the site!
But why, you should pay, for the worst dgt game that you can experience?
I hope that this post will be useful for someone that like me, was so piss about the idea of waste money and time to find ways to enjoy our dgts.
Regards.
So you are playing bullet on those other sites on your DGT board?
