When I start a game on chess.com from the board the match doesn’t show up in the match history tab on the app. If I start a chess.com match from the app then the games shows in the history for me to analyze. Is that something that hasn’t been implemented yet or something that is wrong on my end. I’m on iOS so not sure if the changes things.
That is weird! Is it a bot game? Because that is the only known issue I’ve seen reported here.
Are you playing bots?
Bot games are not saved by Chess.com yet - they are expecting to add that in the next couple of months

I never play against bots. I strictly just play online vs others in 10/5 format
Ah - yes, you are talking about our app.
That game is in history - but on the Chess.com app.
We are currently not pushing those to our database.
Is there a feature in our app that you would want the history there?
That makes sense! Thank you for the quick reply. I think just having the ability to analyze the games. If you don’t pay for a Chess.com subscription you only get 1 free analysis a day so when I play multiple games I can’t analyze them all. I’m also not sure if this is possible but when analyzing a game through the chess up app, if the board could also light up green and red with the best and worst moves. Would be pretty cool to see but not sure if that’s possible.

As a hobbyist programmer that is not quite possible, they would need to develop their own game review function (distinct from the one on chess.com) and that probably won’t happen, at least for a while. If you want game review then getting a chess.com subscription is your best bet, and I think lichess has some free features that might work if you manually input all your moves.
But the app has it’s own game review already… and actually you can already analyze your lichess games there, so not sure how different could be to do the same with the chess.com games…
When the game happens on the app, we record it. When it happens on Chess.com direct from the board, we currently do not record it.
We will fix this in the future

Hi Jeff, thanks for all that you do. My new board arrived yesterday and it has already changed my game! I’dlike to say thanks for being so active in the community on here, it was one of the reasons I went ahead with the purchase. You clearly strive to continually improve and listen attentively to the ideas on here - that’s a rare thing.
I have a few questions:
I’d love to be able to see my chess.com games in chessup history - but currently only chessup games are showing - is there something I’m doing wrong here?
Another amazing feature would be a version of chess.com game review in chessup - so I can replay the game OTB but this time with prompts and retries etc. To be able to play a guided analysis of my games on the actual board (like your amazing lessons) would be a gamechanger. I imagine this is very complicated though??
@Calum - glad you are enjoying the board and welcome to the forum!
As for the chess.com games and history. Currently the chess.com games are only archived on chess.com. We are planning on putting all games together in the ChessUp app history in the future. So nothing that you are doing wrong, just a feature still in the works.
OTB game review is also something we are interested in adding - and it is a good suggestion. We have an overhaul to our bots releasing next. Then it will most likely be a puzzles feature. Then OTB review is one of the items in consideration.
We will continue to add and update the features, and the suggestions are welcome.
