You can easily send a friend request by clicking on a member's username wherever you encounter it—whether in your game archive, live chess chat, or by searching for their username on the Members page. Just click the 'Add Friend' icon (silhouette with a plus sign) and your request will be sent!
You can also send an invite from the member's profile by clicking 'More' and selecting 'Add Friend' from the drop-down menu:
The member you sent the friend request to has three options once they see the request: Accept, Decline, or Ignore.
📝 There is a limit of 10 pending friend requests at a time. If you've sent out many invites that haven't been accepted, you won't be able to send more friend requests until you cancel some of them.
