Hello, I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong here. I want to play against [chess.com](http://chess.com) bots. When using the build in function from the board, it works fine but games are not saved or analyzed. So I wanted to start a game from the [chess.com](http://chess.com) app that is build inside the Chessup app. I choose a bot to play against and try to click start but nothing happens. I can’t start a game, the button is not clickable. Is this normal behavior because I should start a bot game from the board itself or is this some kind of bug? Also, could I just use the [chess.com](http://chess.com) app or do I have to use the link that is build into the Chessup app? ---

> [@Chess.com BOTS problems](https://community.playchessup.com/t/chess-com-bots-problems/971/2): > > Hi There are serveral post here about that. If you play the bots on the ChessUp 2 board alone they are not saved. They are looking to fix it but there are other things first. If you want to save them for ChessUp 2 you need to play with the app and the board connected. When done playing inside the app you can review the game. Do that and it’s saved inside your [chess.com](http://chess.com) account. Read this. And you need to reset your chess.com.connnection.

I did everything shown in the video. In fact I did it right away when I read about it yesterday. I’m aware of the fact that analyzing and saving the games does not work for now on the board. That’s why I want to use the app. But I can’t start the bot game. It’s not responding. The Start button does not work for me. In the native [chess.com](http://chess.com) app everything works fine but when I start is through Chessup the button does not work. ---

You have to do the steps in the video again today. They reset the servers a secound time. ---

That didn’t help. I think it has to do with the app. I tried the app without connecting to the board and the same thing happens. I made a short video showing this. At the end I was tapping the start button but nothing happens: [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/playchessup/original/1X/6de125a2fb498f05d2de0c89be287ead39b44ea1.jpeg "ChessUp 2 can't start match against bots") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOnAX4xtTP4) ---

Now it worked for a few seconds but as soon as the game started the board lights blinked a dozen times and after a few moves it froze completely. ---

Hi DavDav - we need to make an update with [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) to autosave bot games. By default on [chess.com](http://chess.com), they are not saved. The user has to explicitly click review. When playing through the ChessUp 2 - that is not offered, so the games are not saving. We are going to work with [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) so all ChessUp 2 games are analyzed and saved. Should be an easy fix, we will update everyone once done. ---

I still can’t press the green button. Even after all those updates. It’s not clickable like in the video above. ---

@grabbe this is for you? For now just play on the board itself. For now it doesn’t save in the account I know but you can play.
