Play with your kid on ChessKid
To play a game with your child on ChessKid, you’ll first need to be connected to their account through guardianship. Once you're linked, follow the steps below to start a Fast or Slow Chess game together.
Fast Chess
From your Adult account, click 'Play' at the top of the page and select 'Play vs Kid.'
Click the 'Friends' tab (the icon that looks like a person).
Make sure your child is also logged in, online, and in the Fast Chess section. You'll only see them in the list if you're both online in Fast Chess at the same time.
Alternatively, you can find them by typing their ChessKid username into the search bar at the bottom, then click the magnifying glass.
When their name appears, click the hand holding a chess piece icon to send them a challenge!
Slow Chess
From your Adult account, click 'Play' at the top of the page and choose 'Slow Chess.'
On the Slow Chess page, use the dropdown menu under 'Play' to select the type of game or opening you’d like to play.
To make the game unrated, check the 'Unrated' box so it won’t affect your rating.
Click the 'Friends' tab to see a list of your friends, including your connected Kid accounts. Choose the kid you’d like to play with and click 'Play' to send them a challenge!
