I have 2 accounts, one that I use as a ‘‘burner’’ account to test out the board, risk free ( althought I could still play unrated game on my main account…) Anyway, here they are:

burner: YanikChessup2 - Chess Profile - Chess.com (yeah, I know, I can change the name if you want)
Main: frostflyer - Chess Profile - Chess.com

I’m also up for any challenge so feel free to add :vulcan_salute:

Disclaimer: Continuous loosing streaks might lead to stress-testing of ChessUp 2 pieces, you know, “pawn-to-wall” style :sweat_smile: :chess_pawn:

I intended to play a friend but the friends list isn’t populated. Figured it was just a pending feature but is it working for you? Just upgraded to firmware 0.4.9.

Looking forward to learning… JerryMungo1 - Chess Profile - Chess.com

Hi Brewer,
Were your friends actively online for chess.com? If they are online they should show up. Please let us know if that is not the case.

I can confirm friends do not show up as we speak on the chessup2 board, even if they are online.


Selecting the empty blue space goes to the next selection (rated, color choosing) but the play button is unresponsive after.

I had one entry with a name today. He was online at that moment.

Oh.

Uhm. I don’t know then. I know for sure I tried with 2 friends and they never showed up.

Now i dont know…

The guy showing up on my screen was in a chess.com club from work with me. So not only in my normal friends list. Maybe that makes a differences. The name was showing inside the colored box in the middle of the screen.

The next board and server updater will better explain why the list is empty. There are a couple quick things to rule out:

  1. When signing in to ChessDotCom with your mobile phone, please ensure “Access your friends list” is checked.
  2. The on-board friends list only shows friends who are currently online, so it’s normal to show fewer than you’d see on ChessDotCom’s website. On ChessDotCom, these are marked with a little green square in the lower-right corner of the friend’s avatar. Yanik - I’m not sure why your board didn’t show BakGear though, the next update should help diagnose.

Don’t worry, I am not worried about it. Just sharing any information for you guys. Part of the process.

But yes, in case you need confirmation, I tripled checked I had allowed chessup to acces my friend list. On 2 separate accounts. So that’s that.

Had a friend sign on next to me and was able to play. Two observations:

  • An iPhone hotspot required enabling “maximize compatibility” for the board to see it.
  • The game started me with 2:57 due to a signal delay. Not that I’d be playing a 3-min game with me moving both sides.

Very cool!

Hi, from PH (Philippines here) looking for people to play with. Please feel free to add Erickson Marcos (iamblitz14) - Chess Profile - Chess.com
I have the OG ChessUp, can I still play against ChessUp2 users?

New thread here:

Yes - no problem to play ChessUp 1 vs ChessUp 2.

Well, 0.5.1 fixed the friend list for me.

Hopefully everyone else aswell :slight_smile:

I think our firmware engineer is logged in as me right now :rofl:

I am one of the premium members and he is testing the Chess.com premium bots.

So don’t be offended if he does not answer the challenges

My hopes and Dreams are crushed :disappointed_relieved:

Seriously tho, I was just checking to see if there was problems still with the friend list. :slight_smile:

(On that note, the only way to play against anpther chessup2 is trought the app currently, right? I can’t find a way to accept a challenge on the board.

I am assuming it’s a long term roadmap plan anyway with the overhaul of the UI)
