can kids play chess.com


Under the age of 18 are supposed to have parental/guardian consent.

Just a fair warning for all of you young'uns: There are many crazy, deranged and plain unpleasant people on this site, so only enter this den of society's rejected at your own risk!!

no they cant because literally if a kid was on here chess.com would shut down.
but they cant shut down bc the kids ARE the most active like amigo said

@Martin_Stahl imo most of the socially active members here are users under 18
I certainly don't disagree, but the TOS require 18+ or guardian permission, since under-18 can't legally agree to contracts. Under-13 have special requirements in the US and a parent/guardian is supposed to actually set up the account.
