Hello. Since last week, the DGT board hasn't been working for me to play online against humans. I can play against bots. Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you very much.
This is the fail:
connectToEventStream - gameStart event arrived. GameId: qmjQGqjK
connectToGameStream - About to call /api/board/game/stream/qmjQGqjK *
connectToGameStream - board game stream received:
{"error":"This game cannot be played with the Board API."}
connectToGameStream - This game cannot be played with the Board API.
connectToGameStream - Game qmjQGqjK Stream ended.
Are you using the "Play / DGT Board" menu entry (and LiveChess) or a third party application?
> {"error":"This game cannot be played with the Board API."}
IIRC the board API has limitation on time control (15+10 being the fastest allowed), could that be the problem?
Yes. I'm using Live Chess. Live Chess recognizes the board and the moves, but I can't play on Lichess. I've been playing for a year and I've never had any problems before.
Hm... I have game scheduled for today afternoon, I'll see if I have the same problem. I'll be ready to switch to chromium and chessconnect in case of trouble, hopefully the issue won't affect both.
The game in your error is a blitz game.

Time controls: Rapid, Classical and Correspondence only. For direct challenges, games vs AI, and bulk pairing, Blitz is also possible.
Played a 90+30 game now and everything worked fine. Except for my tactical vision, that is. :-)
