is there a way for me to set up an online live game with my 8 yo grandson? I am a diamond member chess.com. He is currently using the free Kidschess.com. We are presently unable to be together because of the covid-19 social spacing requirements. I'd be happy to upgrade his kidschess.com membership or support a chess.com membership (but I think this latter is not allowed?)

Under 13 can play here with parental permission. There is no link between this site and the kid site.

He would need his own account, yes if he wanted to play with you here.

I'm not super familiar with the Kids site; I know it is pretty locked down on how things are done, so I don't know if that would be an option or not.

You can make him a chess.com account and then just send his chess.com account a challenge.

Or have one of his parents set up an account that he can use
