@Ramjet69 Yes, in fact, that is exactly how I have mine set. It works for both rated and unrated games on the chess.com site and pairs accordingly.
@Cornfed Just out of curiosity, is there a reason you wouldnât just set those parameters in the settings on chess.com? Do you constantly change them?
Personally I want basically nothing to do with the mobile app except setting up the board for the first time. Thatâs why I had no interest in first gen Chessup. So with Chessup 2, I would hope that all basic matchmaking and playing functionality would be accessible on the board itself.
Relying on the app for these kinds of things on Chessup 2 just seems like an anachronism and would make the product feel incomplete.
In my use case, another reason is that my kid is the primary user and doesnât have a device to access the app at all. Iâm sure there are other households with multiple users who also wouldnât have immediate access to the app.
@PGK_Studio, I generally set and leave them for long periods of time. Are you perhaps saying, the ChessUp 2 board simply follows those existing settings? If so, that would be fine.
@Cornfed I would assume it does since the board communicates with the website, but not 100% sure. @Jeff is this the case?
Mainly you are setting up new game settings with the board.
There are instances where a setting is static and attached to your chess.com or lichess account. For example, rating range is something you do not need to set everytime.
*But before I get a detail wrong - a lot of this is being sorted out right now.
