Can I play a local 2 player mode on iPad?

Trying to understand if I can play a simple game of 2 player chess against my son on the iPad/iPhone game?

Please help!

you can. download the chess.com app. go to COMPUTER. from there, click on the + to play a new game, and choose HUMAN VS HUMAN. 

Thank you!!!

Chess.com folks, you might make that one a little more intuitive...

+1 for making it more intuitive. The iOS app is fantastic - beautiful, responsive - but some things are hard to find. Like muting chat during s game, and that "play vs computer" includes playing another human. Maybe label it "local play" or " play on device". 

And I notice that this thread is 6 years old. Still, this is an issue. 

Well it still is an issue.

When playing human vs. human the board flips after every move, making it nearly impossible to play an actual game with a real-life human opponent. Is there a way to prevent the flipping so that the ipad simply acts like an old-fashioned chess board?

Is this still a feature? I am wanting to use iPad as a mobile chess board but I don’t see human as an option

On iPad with the iOS app:
