There’s a database of thousands of historical games on Chess.com. I’d like to know if it’s possible to run those games on the ChessUp board. I think it would be a great learning tool.
If so, how?

Not yet.
Can you describe what you would expect the board to do? i.e. light each move, wait for user to make move, light next move? Would the Ai assistant lights work at each step so the user explores the move quality? etc.
I am not sure if we will implement this, but I would like to understand the use case as we consider features. Thanks!

I would like it to do both, play through a historical game and see what the computer says about the quality of those played moves. Maybe it could even give the best move as a light up square or something. That would be nice, maybe the app could have a build-in library (like with the Opera game, the deciding WC game between Carlsen and Karjakin with the famous queen sacrafice etc.)

I’d like to play famous and interesting games. Especially if I want to practice or see how certain openings are played. The lights could show where to move and perhaps compare those moves to the ai.
*I really like the library suggestion.

I had something similar prepared to write on the forum but I’ll post it here. The library seems nice indeed.
I would like to see a function to import a .png file from e.g. a GM to analyze this game.
• Either from white or black or possibly both sides.
• The option to see the moves or not and to use an engine if desired (evalutation bar, best
move, arrows for weaknesses and continuations, …).
• To view/analyze a position and go to the next move via a button whenever you want, which
is displayed as a move with colors on the board.
• Play on from a certain position against the AI.
