Luca D (ID: 000000540e242c5a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/29/2024 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

Alex Troyb (ID: 00000028d5e904b4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/09/2023 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.

Nick Holme Kjeldsen (ID: 000000eab644f363) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 This is the missing link for thew Chessnut line of produkts. Works great with both the Chessnut air, and the chessnut Pro. What shoulda been a part of the provided software from Chessnut this little genius plugin solves!! GREAT JOB!!
