play with smartphone.
If possible, how do my friend and i play on my computer from the same place?
yes you can play from the same place using differents accounts and differents computers or smartphones and different nickname sorry i dont speak english!!! i hope you understand me
Go to the menu (the three vertical lines found at the top left)
Then, click on the "play against computer" button (It may look like a microchip if you're using mobile).
Lastly, you go to the AI strength settings (it should look like a gear), where you will see a black or white Computer icon.
Simply click the icon and it should turn the computer to a human opponent, whereas you can play against your friend on the same screen.
Hope this helps! :D

No chessboard here. Maybe it would be best to use two devices, since it doesn't look like it's possible on one device (laptop).

Guys, i have found it!! Just go to the analysis section from the website or type "chess.com/analysis". You are able to play with your friend 1v1 on the same computer, or just practice.
just go to the learn section and click analysis then it will open a chess board and you can play on the same computer 

why on earth would they remove this? chess.com strips itself down, and hides basics stuff behind a paywall, disgusting
That is your interpretation.
People have been playing chess on real chess sets since forever.
No chessboard here.
On a serious note. Buy a real chess set.
I just donated 2 chess sets to a Vietnamese shopping center in Falls Church, Virginia, USA.

Kids are not playing with toys any more, toys from Toys R Us.
We are losing touch with the real world.
And we are losing touch with dealing with people face-to-face.
Next we'll be asking dumb questions like this.
We're here together in the same place.
