Playing against friend on chess.com

So yes this should work today.

Steps (I know you have already done some of these):

  1. Get chess.com set up on both of your boards
  2. Friend each other (you can do that through the chess.com app or web page)
  3. Start up your ChessUp 2s, let them connect to WiFi
  4. One person select “Chess.com” and wait on the main Chess.com screen
  5. Other person select “Chess.com” → “Play a Friend” → Select your friend’s username → set up the game…

The challenge should then appear on person from #4 and can accept and start:

One key thing - do not use our app, nor the Chess.com app, beyond setting up the Chess.com credentials on your boards. The best experience for the direct challenge will be through the board direct to WiFi.

You can also receive challenges from friends not on the board and them on the chess.com app - same process as above for receiving.
