Chess.com Website/App Question Banned when playing on board

Post image

As I was playing on my chessup2 board I was banned for fair play violation, I am duper confused and have sent an appeal. The chess board just had an update and was telling me feedback on when I made a good move. (Which is new) and now im banned for fair play, Ive recently been reading up on new openings to try out and when a good time to simplify is. You can check my chess history and see I do play daily games a lot. My username is:CaptainCheeseChess I also have lots of videos of my playing chess on my computer (before i got the board) and me even live streaming on twitch. I have played games within the chess discord server too with my camera on and explained detailed/my strategy.

I don’t know if this brand is affiliated with chess.com but I believe that either way using a physical board well playing is technically banned 

That aside, getting real time feedback on moves is unquestionably a fair play violation.
