MMM-Chess-Daily

This is a module for the MagicMirror². You can use this module to list your https://chess.com daily games, either as a simple list, or by displaying actual chess board(s).

You can customize this module.
Limit the number of boards (or don't show any boards at all), alter the updating interval, and most importantly, pick a nice theme

(You can show as many boards as you like.)

cd MagicMirror/modules/, followed by git clone https://github.com/nout-kleef/MMM-Chess-Daily.git
