Certabo and lichess.org

Page 1 of 2Next

Hi,

now, I played some games with my Angel board on lichess.org with the latest Certabo software, via my Windows PC and also with DaVinci.

It works great! A quick reaction on the chessboard and even the temporary loss of the cable connection to the board was no problem.

Great work!

Hello Lars

Thank you for your post and feedback very happy to hear as  come from professional like you, and most of credit goes to Harald (Haklein) for the great berserk implementation he did for Lichess Api  we thank for.

For the USB we basically redesigned the code to have really multiplatform in all conditions.

All the best

Pietro

 

I just tried my fist games on lichess. It works also perfectly for a non profi....

Very good and fast reaction, no issue. It´s simply a pleasure to play against humans on a wooden board - just with 2 or 3 clicks to start the game.

Hi Julian

Thanks for your feedback. Yes it's really nice when we debug software playing online, we often just forget we are debugging and concentrate in just playing 🙂

Btw will try to release the Lichess integration in Certabodroid in few days for beta testing. It's quite funny as the Certabrdoid GUI is aligned with Lichess and you can play looking at our GUI or directly on Lichess website. Will ping as we put on the store.

All the best

Pietro

It would be a pleasure for me to test it. This was the main reason I bought my board. Just sitting in the garden and play chess with others.

Hi,

I use Certabodroid on my smartphone : It works good... But when I try to connect to lichess.org on the left menu, the message is : "invalid Token" My Token is ok on lichens.org + password... no problem. Pietro asked me to verify/modify that I did... but same message appears

Regards

 

 

Haven't tried for a while  with that setup but if I remember well sometimes (somehow) it can take some time before the token starts working correctly in this setup, if the problem is still there say one day later, then there is indeed a problem, but sometimes after some patience and no changes at all it can still start working as intended whereas initially it did not seem to work. If the problem already exists >24 hours neglect and forget this psoting.

Hi Daniel

As Michiel was saying can take some hrs to activate. Anyhow that is strange can you check if same token works on the pc on Mac.? Also make sure when you created you selected play with board in API setting. It maybe obvious but just doubl check. Also try to log into your account with phone so make sure you are logged before launching the game and then relaunch the game.

Let us know all the best

Hi guys,

So with my Certabo board and DaVinci computer, playing a game on lichess works great, however I run into these issues:

  1. Normally I have multiple games running, mainly correspondence games. Now when I start lichess, it presents a “random”  game on the board and I cannot switch to the game I want?
  2. When I’m playing a live game, and someone makes a move in another correspondence game, the board suddenly switches to the correspondence game in which the move was made. So I loose my live game.

Question: Is this normal behavior?

Work-around: I opened up a second lichess account. First account I use for my correspondence games on iPhone/iPad. Other acccount I use as a dedicated account to play single games on my Certabo board.

kind regards,

reint.

Hi Reint,

the lichess "beserk" API could not handle different games. The API is looking for "an" open game and transfer it to the App or Software.
That's not an issue from the certabo software.

Best Dirk
