Friend requests on ChessKid
ChessKid uses a blind friend-request system: your child won’t receive a notification when someone sends a request. A friendship is only formed if your child also sends a request to that user, ensuring they know each other in real life and preventing random additions.
Parent and Coach accounts can impersonate their kids to monitor all correspondence, friends, and other activity.
Adults cannot be friends with kids unless they are a Guardian or ChessKid staff. Check out this article to learn how to become your Kid's guardian: How To Connect To My Kid Through Guardianship
How do I impersonate my kid?
From your Parent account, click 'Manage' in the top menu and select 'Kids.'
Next to the child’s name, click the three-line icon and select 'Impersonate.'
Once impersonating their account, click 'Connect' in the left menu and select 'Friends' to view and manage your kid's friend list. You can also cancel any sent friend requests that haven't yet been accepted.
