Hello. I would like to play with my grandpa, we both have the chessup 2. Is there anyway we can play while both using chessup 2 boards. Preferably on chess.com but other options would be welcome. Thanks!

This is releasing very soon. We needed a mechanism from Chess.com (which they have provided) and now we are implementing it.
There is a workaround - using our app and playing on the ChessUp network.
But coming soon you will just need to friend them on Chess.com and then anytime you both have the board on, ready to play, you can set up the game with just a few touches on the board.
Sorry the feature is not in there today. I will get a date for the release soon.

Okay great, thank you Jeff. I am looking forward to that. Im glad to hear there is a workaround. Thank you and your team for all the hard work you’ve done so far.

In chessup 1, I assume you just click a lay a friend when in the chess.com part of the app. Is that not available on the chessup 2 board? If not it will likely come in the next week or so when they push the next update.
Hi,
I also have another question which I think got its place on this subject. How do you add a chessup friend ? Because when I go on the app (Android) → profile → friends, I can see there is an “invite friend” button but all it does is copying the link to the chessup app and gives you the possibility to share it with someone, then it doesn’t make any friend at all. What’s the process?
Both have to be online (so both have to have the app opened) and then you will be able to find your friend.
Ok but how do you become friend the first time. I can guess that when I open my app I’m not alone with the app opened
You go to the friends section. Here:
And you see when I search something it shows me a lot of people (none of them are my friends).
You will only be able to see your friend here if both are online.
Then you add him by clicking the 3 dots and that’s it.

Wow thanks a lot, I tried it a few times and I guess I didn’t get it right, was probably not putting the right letter or was trying when no one was online ahahah but this was always empty. I just tried right now with letter A as you did and seen for the very first time a list of people. I initially also thought the research part was if you had too many friends to ease who you would challenge. Thanks again for your help, I feel really dumb right now ahahahaha

Hi,
I see in the FAQ that two ChessUp boards can play each other remotely, and that once the initial login is done, the phone app isn’t required. But in the app, under Online Mode, I notice there is a ChessUp option (third line) that only appears in the app, not directly on the board screen like Chess.com and Lichess do.
It would be great if the ChessUp-to-ChessUp mode (ChessUp) could also be launched natively from the board itself, without always needing to go through the phone app. This would match the FAQ (where app isn’t required after login) and make board-to-board games more seamless and natural.
Could this be added in a future update?
Just tagging to highlight my suggestion above 
— I’d really love to see this added directly on the board screen alongside Chess.com and Lichess. Could this be considered for a future update?
Just tagging here so my suggestion above doesn’t get missed — it’s about adding ChessUp-to-ChessUp mode directly on the board.
You can challenge board to board through chess.com (and coming in the future to lichess).
The ChessUp to ChessUp mode (through our app) allows for additional options like assistance.
