Liches challenge

I’m on the chessup 1 board. I followed someone to allow me to create a challenge from within the app. But the time control 45+45 is not supported.

If I create a challenge link from Lichess and turn my board on at the appropriate time, will the board recognize that I am playing and synch? That seems possible if I am playing black but what if I have the first move?

I am not sure. @grabbe ?

I created an account for my son. I don’t see any way to have him accept a challenge with custom time controls and have the board synch.

Would be nice if the app let you create a challenge and pick the time control. Otherwise we can’t use it to play in the league match.

We don’t currently support custom time formats. The ones that we do support are:

  • 5|5
  • 10
  • 10|5
  • 15|10
  • 30
  • 30|20
  • 45

So there is no way to play in the most popular classic leagues? I wanted to play in the lone wolf 30/30 and 45/45 leagues.

There is no way to get the board to synch to a lichess came started outside the app?

We can likely add more formats - we will check. The Lichess board API has some restrictions, but I believe 30+30 and 45+45 should be ok.

We will look into this.

You could use the Chessconnect extension in a browser. It works well with the Chessup 1 board. The developer also just released a beta version of an Android app that I have tested with the Chessup 2 so it should work well with the 1 as well.

Thank you. I downloaded chess connect. It’s not an ideal solution but for the 1-2 games a week I need it, I can play near the computer until they allow custom time controls.
