Most of the friends I play with on my ChessUp2 board have [chess.com](http://chess.com) accounts. It would be nice to be able to both play on the ChessUp2 board and have our games saved on [chess.com](http://chess.com) without having to export PGNs, or having to send them the PGN so they can also save or review the game. Currently, it seems the only way we can kind-of do this is if I play on the ChessUp2 and my friend plays on their phone or tablet or laptop connected to [chess.com](http://chess.com), even though we are in the same house together…it just seems awkward. Feature request, if possible? 🤞 ---

We are investigating this now (2 player OTB being better reflected on [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) accounts). And agreed this needs some development. We are working on it. ---

Would love to know if this is going to be possible! Just ordered my new board and this is one of the main things I’d like to try! Any updates? ---

Indeed that would be so cool ---

We played around with a QR code on screen after the match that allows any person to scan it and load on the [chess.com](http://chess.com) site (from where they can save it to their account). We may release that. We also released family accounts, so two [chess.com](http://chess.com) accounts can now be accessed on the same board. But that does not directly allow those two to save a 2-player game OTB to their [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) account. We will take a look at that idea. Rated 2-player OTB play is another request we get - and while we have had discussions with [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) on this, there is a lot still to be answered and no firm commitment yet. When rated play comes in, there is a lot of concerns around game and account integrity, plus the fact they host all rated games and when playing 2-player, the game is local (not online). So this is a much larger project, but still one we have our eye on. ---

This feature would be amazing, and as a software engineer myself I understand the complexity, so I appreciate you looking into it and trying to figure out how to best implement this. You have an amazing team! 👏👏 ---

Jeff, Any update on this? Also, is there any plan to support the [chess.com](http://chess.com) “Engine” bot rather than only the personality bots? Thanks! ---

No progress yet on rated play OTB. Still trying to figure this out though. In terms of an OTB game just showing up in saved games on two different profiles - we are exploring some practical ways to make getting OTB game → arbitrary [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) account saved games more convenient. ---

Well the cheating is something. Someone could technically make “games” to boost their rating. But we might figure out a way.
