I want to buy an electronic chess board to play over the board but have each move sync to Lichess for later analysis. Wonder how feasible that is to do.

- gurchik 4y agoAny board that allows you to download the games in PGN format can simply be copy-paste into Lichess. Additionally if you have a DGT board and it is plugged into a computer you can sync it directly to Lichess: https://lichess.org/blog/X6l9bBUAACQAXE8M/play-on-lichess-using-a-dgt-board https://lichess.org/blog/X6l9bBUAACQAXE8M/play-on-lichess-us...
- Scarblac 4y agoThere is the Chessify app, which allows you to point a phone camera at a normal chess board and it will recognize the position and sync with Lichess. I haven't used it myself and don't know if it handles playing, but it's an interesting idea.
- nikivi 4y agoYea I want to avoid taking a photo of board after every move. Essentially I want one of those boards they use in tournaments like the recent candidates.
- skeletonjelly 4y agoI've been using a local engine for analysis. Firstly it saves Lichess CPU time, and secondly it's more powerful (running on GPU). I prefer the Lichess interface so do use it occasionally but otherwise the Nibbler front end over lc0 has been handy. You can paste in FEN or PGN format which as others have mentioned should be available from some physical boards.
