Friends-What are they?
Sort:
I recently received an invitation to be a friend of someone-can anyone tell me what that means? What happens if I accept? Are there privileges? What happens when you have “friends”?
Like everything, Chess.com is better with friends!

You get an alert when they make a new topic.
When you're playing in live chess, you can easily find if your friends are online, and send them a challenge.
Stuff like that. There's no risks, it just makes it easier to interact with each other. You might get a friend request just because a person liked one of your posts or games. You also might get friend requests from 1 day old accounts who are trolls, so I guess be cautious of that.
What is a new “topic”?
And by the way, what does it mean to “follow” someone? I am mighty confused here, besides I am a Chess.com nooby, so I am not sure of much stuff-by the way, you can send out challenges?!?!? Can I send one to you for instance?
