Hi,

I would like to know if it ́s possible to have notifications on the screen chessboard without using an external App.

It would be nice for example to have a notification of a friend who would like to challenge us without beeing connected at he same time…

Thank you

Titi

Direct challenge notices can come through - but it is very specific conditions.

What other notifications would you like?

Tagging @Jay as well.

Hi Jeff,

Notifications from [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) or Lichess as a new friend request.

We don’t know when a friend wants to chalenge us unlesss he is connected as the same time and making the request live only.

Why?

I bought this Chess board to play against my son who is living with his mother and doesn’t have a smartphone. So if he cannot see notifications of a match, I can’t play against him on [Chess.com](http://Chess.com)…

Thank you

Thierry

If the board is on it will receive challenge requests. And a person can send a challenge from the board to people who are online.

Are you looking to get notified on your phone of a request from his board?
