How do I enable the option to play multiple games at once?
From the settings page
click 'Settings' from the menu at the bottom-left corner of any Chess.com page, select 'Gameplay' from the settings menu, and toggle the 'Allow multiple games at once' option to your preference.
From the Play page
If you are already on the 'Play Online' page, you can click on the cogwheel ('Settings') icon next to your opponent's timer, right outside the upper right corner of the chessboard.
This will open the Settings pop-up window. Select the 'Play' tab at the top, then click 'Live' just below it. Here, you can toggle the 'Multiple Games' option to your preference.
Auto switch game
Toggling on the 'Auto switch game' after each move you will automatically be taken to the next game where it is your turn with the least time remaining.
This option won't stop you from manually switching between games.
How do I see my active games?
Open games window
If you're playing or watching multiple games, you can use the Open Games window to easily keep track of them. Simply press the period key (.) on your keyboard to open a window displaying all your current games, whether you're watching or playing.
Click on any game listed in the Open Games window to quickly switch to it without opening a new tab.
