Human vs Human mode in latest app?

Avatar of fortmap

Hello,

In January, my android chess.com app updated and I can no longer figure out how to play in human vs human mode.

I used to use it to arbitrate lunch time OTB games at my office. You could make all the moves on the app as the OTB game was being played, and then copy the PGN for analysis at the end.

I am now having to use another app for this.

Is the feature no longer available?

 

Thank you.

That's playing somebody online. That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about two humans using one phone.

On Android that is no longer an option.

Thanks.

I will use the other app for this use case from now on.

I apologize I think I misunderstood your initial questions.

Thats a shame.. very strange this feature has been disabled. Now I need to download another chess app to play a friend side by side.

Wait, wait, wait... Isn't "Pass and Play" in the android app the same thing?

I don't have a real chessboard, so whenever I need to play offline I open the android app, select "More" from the bottom menu, and then there's a pass and play option.

When you click on it, it even states "Play with a friend offline".

I don't remember that option being removed from there.

Pass and Play is the way to do it now.  The old way was removed at one point and that was added in later. It used to be part of the vs Computer option until that was updated.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. happy.png

I’m having difficulty finding this option on the iOS app. Any help would be appreciated. Shame they made it so difficult to find in the latest update.

For those of you who are on iOS (which still doesn’t offer a pass and play feature to my knowledge), what app do you use to play against a human on one offline device? Any recommendations?

Your best option is the Analysis Board and turning off any unwanted features.

Pass and Play is only on the mobile apps, not the website.
