How to Play a Friend? Help

Sort:

I am new to Chess.com.  My friend and I are new members and we would like to play Live Chess against each other.  Can someone explain how we set that up?  We've tried the Challenge, but that sets up as a 2-3 day game and is not what we are looking to do.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

After you load up live chess (but before you start a game) look to the right of the window.  There should be a list of challenges you can accept.  Above that box are a few tabs, the challenges tab is automatically selected.  Click either the "friends" tab or "players" tab and find your friend's chess.com name.  Right click on his name and you have the option of challenging him directly.  When he accepts you can play.
