Eletronic chessboard to play online - your opinion

Post by Ponti »

Which one is the best ? Which one do you use, if any ?

I was trying to connect my USB DGT board to chess.com and Lichess , but did not succeed (surely itś my tecnical incompetence, as I'm a doctor , not a computer programmer :lol: ). Iḿ thinking about buying one of those new boards that do connect wirelessly by bluetooth... I need advice, please. Thanks in advance !

The DGT board connects without trouble here to Lichess. For chess.com, I have trouble to get work flawless. It worked before they removed the live chess mode.
I can try to create a simple video of my setup if you want.

Ok, I try to make it later tonight. I have club night at our chess club first.
Do you have it working locally, on fritz etc., or should I take it from the start with including installing the board driver from DGT?

Isn't it too small for a chessplayer? They have a board called Chessnut Pro that looks more suitable.

I put up a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1wuWMPzu8 .
If I get more time in the weekend, I can try to streamline it a bit.

If it stops some places, just ask. It could be something I didn't need to do when it was already used before.

You can also see me in action with this setup plus my anti-cheating environment here: https://www.twitch.tv/oddgunnar .
These videos only last one week before twitch delete them.
