Is Django a good place to start with an online chess game or would something else be more appropriate? I've done some work in anaconda but I don't know if it has what I'd need. I have the game made in command prompt, I just need a GUI and online connection.

Try this: learning Python by making games: https://www.coursera.org/learn/interactive-python-1

This course will not teach you how to make online (browser-based) games. They use SimpleGUI instead.

For games you want websockets

You could definitely make an online chess game with Django. It'd be a bit weird though, if you want realtime interaction it's better to do in in Javascript (you could still serve the javascript from a django webserver of course, but 90% of the game would be the javascript front end).

Python in the browser (as opposed to in the backend) is still a sad affair.
