- (2025-08-26) 임천하: Very useful to play cheescom game
- (2025-02-04) Maurizio Alfieri: Finally I can play on Lichess.org seamlessy with my Certabo board avoiding the headache of the original software. Excellent work Chessconnect!
- (2024-10-25) Bogdan C: Excellent extension, great work! It integrates seamlessly with my Chessnut board. Initial feedback: - It would be amazing to support the analysis board / studies on lichess. Jörn mentioned this can be considered if there's enough interest for it. Lichess analysis / studies are (in my humble opinion) the most powerful / user friedly game analysis tool. Also, following live game (as a spectator, not player) would be nice. - I don't know if this is supposed to work or not, but when I watch broadcast games on chess.com the board is activated and highlights the black moves (presumably seen as the opponent) but does nothing for white (presumably seen as the player). Then if I try to make the moves myself they appear as differences. It's as if the white pieces are frozen to the initial position. This would be a nice to have, but it's not as important as analysis mode on lichess.
- (2024-09-19) Joseph Ford: Simply Beautiful Plugin for chess. I love how far it comes and how many boards it supports. When my DGT Board connected and played without any issues on both lichess and Chess dot com without any issues. Superb extension.
- (2024-09-04) Jurgen P: great plugin! please support analysis mode
- (2024-08-07) Jelle Faber: Edit 2: This is now an approved software and board! Woohoo! ___ Original Edit: Chess.com restricted my account for use of the Chessnut software. Their support team confirmed that it was not use of this extension (Chessconnect) that resulted in the restriction, though they discourage the use of extensions during live games. ____ Amazing! This does what I wish the Chessnut app would do, providing latency options and connectivity to chess.com within Chrome. The Chessnut app doesn't allow right-clicks, so it's not possible to open game analysis in a new tab, or have multiple tabs open at all... so I appreicate being able to use my Chessnut board in Chrome.
- (2024-07-04) Thakul Lertlimpiyarat: Brilliant extension !! for many years that I struggle with my DGT board on chess.com, so now I can play even with the bots!
- (2024-05-23) Pietro Mandurino: A very nice extension. An integration that is as natural as it is simple to use. It works on chrome, edge, kiwi, and many different devices Mac, PC, Unix, Raspberry Chromebook. Special praise and all my respect to the developer who made it
- (2024-05-03) Bence Borsos: great
- (2024-04-23) Alexandru: Great app!!! If only you could slide the pieces, that would be even better. I set it to 600 and still couldn't slide, but i think it was a bug. Restarted it and worked perfectly. Thank you a lot for the app. I have a supreme tournament 55 and can finally play against chss.com bots, too, thanks to your app! God bless!
- (2024-04-12) Greg W: Works well with Certabo USB board.
- (2024-03-29) Wilmar López Neira: God job, congratulations, its great how work the extension, i love.
- (2024-03-06) drahn: This is amazing! Perfect working with Chess.com & lichess.org!
- (2024-02-16) vikram soug: I have been waiting for this kind of app for many years, a boon for chess player .The developer, very helpful by listening to player request and doing the needful and putting in the version 0.3.2.14. Thank you , chess connect !!!
- (2024-02-09) Richard Sava: This extension is amazing. I use it for my Chessnut Air and it has been near flawless for me. I use it mainly on Lichess but also have used it on chessdotcom. I have it installed on Chrome and Edge on my desktop and work laptop as well as on a couple of Android tablets using the Kiwi browser. Love the option to have 2 users setup for Lichess as I use one for testing and the other for actual play. Playing with the Move latency has allowed me to fine tune how it works with the websites so my moves are fast but not "missed". Working with the developer on issues has always been a pleasure, he is quick to respond and come up with fixes or solutions. If you have any issues, reach out to him, he is very willing to help people get this working properly. I highly recommend this if you have a Chessnut board, you won't be disappointed.
- (2024-02-06) l pav: Congratulations on this program. It's a new comfort for playing. - play with bots - in blitz 5+5 it's ok after adjusting the latency to 50. - and on longer cadences of course Good day
- (2024-01-29) Luca D: Works very well on my Chessnut Air on Windows 11... with the "experimental flags" set, connection seems to be stable and seamless and with no significant latency between the website and the board January 2024 edit: plugin has just been update with Lichess support, and it is working very well; in my opinion it is now the best way to enjoy online play with a Chessnut board on a PC, being more reliable than the official software and allowing for both USB and bluetooth connection

- (2024-01-21) Omar Megdadi: Thx for share this extension, right now I can use my Chessnut air with all the bots in chess.com. work like a charm
- (2023-12-06) Jack Ian Lin: Works well for local player vs online player, or local player vs bot. BUG: in Chess.com analysis mode (the only way to do a local player vs local player), the move on the ChessNut Air board only registers if it is right side up for the side that's moving. After white makes the first move with the physical chess piece, you have to click the "Flip Board" button before Blacks physical move will be registered.
- (2023-12-04) Michael Tam: This is an amazing piece of software that incredibly smoothly connects the Chessnut Air/Air+/PRO with chess.com through Chrome. If you're using your Chessnut board at home, this will almost always be a better way to use the board with chess.com than Chessnut's own app!
- (2023-11-24) Oliver Christ: I love it. I always have my laptop running anyway, therefore it's the easiest way to use my chessnut. I would love to see a lichess implementation, too.
- (2023-10-09) Alex Troyb: Excellent extension! It took me a minute to find the "connect" button on the new layout of chess.com, but once I found the button on the screen everything worked perfectly.
