When you go on live chess, after you click on "play free live chess", there is a graph on the bottom right with green dots and it says "new game", "list", and "filter" on the bottom.
To play either click on one of the green dots on the graph (this will take you to someone's challenge) or click "new game", choose your length of game using "presets" and click "create new game"
Hope that helps
im a nooby to this and i dont know how to work anything. I wait ages to play live but nothing happens :( can anybody help me!
