Chessconnect: a free chrome extension for electronic chessboards

Major milestone achieved: I just played my first game with the Chessconnect Android app. There is still much to do. But now I am certain that it can be done. And consequently, it will be done.

The plan is to release for Android, wait a little while until it runs smoothly, and then if enough people like the app, follow up with an iOS app.

Wow, that is just amazing. Well done and thanks for all you do for us. Just played on my DGT board, flawless as is usually the case. Have a great day!

I wonder if this could be love ...

Definitely looking forward to the iOS app - thanks so much for all the great work!!!

I would say there are already enough connectingapps for Android - but what NOBODY has really managed to do so far - is to get those brilliant Lichess studies onto the board. This is really missing sooo much! That would be an extremely big step forward!

That is pretty high on my todo list for quite some time now. It might fit nicely between the Andoid app and the iOS app.

Hi chessconnect users! I'm a big fan of this Extension. But, to my horror, I just played a game in which I had a clearly winning position. I accidentally moved a rook to c8 instead of d8, and quickly slid it back without letting go of the piece. Perfectly legal. But even with a latency of 500ms, it played Rc8. What do people think is a suitable (upper limit) latency to avoid this happening again? (I'm only playing with increment, so the loss of time isn't a huge factor.)

@lordnala: Can you test the latency behavior with the analysis board? 500ms seems quite long. So I want to make sure that this is not a software issue. If you feel that latency is not working as expected: what board were you using and was it USB or bluetooth?

@lordnala Oof, that is very frustrating
I agree that 500ms is already a high latency. I feel like the only robust solution to this is to try get out of the habit of sliding pieces. After playing with electronic boards for a long time, I very soon weaned myself off sliding.
I would be interested in other people's experience though.

I agree about sliding. I plonk the pieces down with a reassuring thud.
