Hi, does the Lichess api support implementing their chat into the Chessup app? This is important when you play e.g. the popular Maia bots, so that you can instruct them to go “fast”?!

They DO have endpoint for that. (api/board/game/{gameId}/chat) Implementing chat on board would surely be interesting, maybe even in vs Player matches? Some sort of quick chat would even fit quite nicely on the screen

Three questions here:
1. Does Lichess let us API chat?
I don’t think so, but maybe @grabbe would know.
2. Will we implement a method to make the bot go fast via the fast chat command?
TBD on the answer to #1 if we can address that or not and also dependent on if we just did #3 below:
3. Can we have general chat via lichess play?
We will add this request to our feature consideration list.

Any solution that could get the Maia bots to move fast would be fine!

There is a stream that we can listen to all chat. I haven’t looked at sending chat.

Is this a request for ChessUp1 or ChessUp2?

I have the Chessup 2 board and were using the app to play on Lichess.

I’ll talk with Jeff and the other developers and see what we can do
