Hey everyone,
I recently linked my Lichess account in the ChessUp app, but when I try to select Lichess on the chessboard, it says that the integration is “coming soon.”
I’m a bit confused – why is it already possible to link my Lichess account if I can’t actually use it for playing yet?
Has anyone else experienced this or knows more about it?
Thanks in advance!
You can play lichess with the app and connected to the board. To play with board only, that is comming soon.
Thank you, but how is that supposed to work? On Chess.com, I also connect the board to the app and then play using the buttons on the chessboard. I’m wondering why it would work differently on Lichess. Also, I’m a bit confused about the difference between the “Board Only” mode and the one that isn’t “Board Only” – in what way would I still need my phone in that case?
What they are saying is that you can play on chess.com when your phone is off or without the app on the phone. Because the board is integrated with the site.
Wirh lichess, the board is linked to the app/phone so you require the Bluetooth connection of your phone to play. It looks exactly the same except your phone is nearby.
Thank you very much 
I tried it, but entcountered some technical problems.
I decided that I stay with the chess.com integration xD
The Lichess feature is next up for release - almost ready. Sorry for the wait on the feature.
It will work much like Chess.com and no app will be required.
Oh that‘s very cool. Thanks for answering Jeff
When is an estimate of when it is coming out?
The official roadmap states that the Release is planed for this month
