chess.com
Chessconnect is officially recognized by chess.com and uses the chess.com API for regular play . For some features like e.g. puzzles or lessons we parse the HTML code of the web page to recognize the position on the board and send simulated mouse clicks to make moves. Because of this, almost everything is possible on chess.com. Bot games, live games, tournaments, and the analysis board all work well with Chessconnect.
It is best to disable premoves as this conflicts with the way Chessconnect transmits moves to the site. In most cases you are ok even with premoves enabled. But it is better to turn them off.
Chessconnect will not work properly on this site, if piece animations are set too fast. It is best to leave them on the default setting. Also, you need to have „move method“ set to „click squares“ or „drag or click“. The board setting „white always on bottom“ also interferes with Chessconnect. This must be turned off.
lichess.org
Unlike chess.com, lichess.org offers an official way for us to interact with the site. This means, that problems with cheat detection are even less likely. On the other hand, Chessconnect is a little bit more limited in what it can do. The analysis board cannot be accessed there is only a fixed set of game format available. As of now, there is Rapid, Classical and Correspondence only. For direct challenges and games vs AI, Blitz is also possible.
Starting with version 5, Chessconnect will support almost all features available on Lichess. Until then, Chessconnect is/as restricted to what Lichess offered through it’s API.
noctie.ai
The authors of noctie.ai are cooperating very closely with Chessconnect. Consequently, almost every feature is supported. If you miss anything, let us know. We will try to make it possible.
