So this question has been In my mind, which my friend asked. You may see it in the bottom her question and exactly what I mean; can we use the same email for different accounts?

bro Just make a new E-mail Id for your brother. It's not that complicated and an extra E-mail Id always comes in hand. I myself have about 3 G-mail Id's and use 2 for 2 chess.com account.

yeah but easier right

maybe but it's complicated to do such update even famous and large  social media apps do not provide such feature so just make a new E-mail.

multiple accounts for same email could cause account duping, it's much easier to make alt accounts (which are already against the rules unless you get approval from chess.com staff)

Sign up for an alternative email somewhere. There are many options.

 

As mentioned, it is *not* illegal to have a second account. A single alternative account is allowed for each user, but *only* with permission of chess.com staff. The alternative account request form is on this page: https://support.chess.com/article/596-can-i-have-multiple-accounts

 

(it's not difficult to get this done, and they will allow it so long as you give a reason and agree to abide by some strict rules -- see that link for more detail)

 

HOWEVER, this is not an alternative account if it is truly for your brother and not you. Just obtain a yahoo or gmail or whatever email account, and apply per the usual way. This is not terribly difficult: ask an adult family member for help if you need it.

You are supposed to have only one chess.com account don't you?

An alternate account is allowed if approved by staff and it's for a valid reason.

oh my bad but that's not the problem here. my guy wants a new account for his brother so he can create a new account for his brothers and this is not a violation of terms and conditions.

Emails on accounts have to be unique

There are good reasons why a unique email address is required for each new account, and that requirement is unlikely to change.
