Kids chess online with a friend
My son is in 2nd grade, loves chess, and would like to have virtual chess playdates with buddies from school. (possibly with facetime set up next to him so they can talk while playing.) When I google, I am overwhelmed by options and wonder if anyone has already figured out the best solution to this. I'm not interested in him playing against a computer or playing strangers on the internet. It's not about learning chess. It's about having some social time with friends during this time away from school. Any recommendations? Thank you!

We have been using Chess with Friends app since last week to play with family and friends. There are ads to close but it works great otherwise and is free! We all had to download the app and make usernames but that was it.
My daughter just started playing chess with a friend on the chess.com app. It’s great! They FaceTime at the same time using a separate device.
My third grader uses ChessKid app on our iPAD. It seems to work fine. Would you like to join and play with us?
