Hi all.
Just a thought but are there any plans for Chessiverse integration in the future? It would be great to have it on the menu screen as an option like Lichess etc.
Cheers!

We are working with chessiverse now to explore this. Good to hear there is support and demand.

Brilliant thanks Jeff!
I personally think it would be a fantastic option for people. Especially those who would like a change from playing live online.

Possibly not as much ‘demand’ as you might think. I could be wrong…but most people like to play other people.
Ai play actually outpaces online random play by a bit.

It’ll be another nice tool in the box if it comes off.

I too hope that Chessiverse gets added, here’s why.
As a beginner returning player, ( i had a break of about 30 years ) i have found that playing people stresses me out (at least for now) i get very nervous during play, this causes me to lose focus, miss tactics, get into time trouble, blunder then lose the game and then get depressed over it.
When i play the bots however, the opposite is true, i’m more relaxed, my calculation, focus and board vision ( 0n my Chessup 2 ) is much improved - leading to less blunders, more wins and enjoyable games and for me that’s what it’s all about - having fun with chess.
If someone can explain why this is so i’d be happy to know.
The Chessiverse bots are great fun to play and as i’m loving my Chessup 2 so much adding Chessiverse would be a big bonus as i much prefer OTB play to laptop. I’m very much looking forward to it so thanks in advance to the team at Chessup.!
Cheers.!

At what rating level, roughly? I ask because apparently 10 min play is the most popular on chess.com, but aparently it’s because of the huge weak player base. As rating go up, people prefer faster time controls. I am making an educated guess that weaker players play AI bots…while as they get better, the prefer to test themselves again actual humans.

Is there any update on the progress of adding Chessiverse to ChessUp 2? It would be an amazing addition. Thanks for your work in making ChessUp 2 the best e-board out there!
If I can make a suggestion. If you use the chessconnect app and connect the board to that it’s possible to use chessiverse. Also Chessable. Try it out, I did found it a bit buggy on Android. But the start is there. Gone test myself a bit and give feedback on the chessconnect discord to help the dev improve it all.
Yes I use Chessconnect. However, after each game I have to turn off the board and reset to continue. It is a bit annoying.
Chessiverse integration is something that we are actively investigating.
