subreddit that pairs players with stronger or weaker players for instructive games for free

Hey everybody! I just launched a new subreddit for players to request and offer instructional games with players rated higher or lower than them respectively. It’s called r/chessclub, here’s a link (https://www.reddit.com/r/chessclub/ .) If you’re a strong player looking to help other players out of the kindness of your heart or to deepen your understanding of the game, or a player looking to learn and grow with the help of a stronger, more experienced player, this is the sub for you. You can make both game requests and offers regardless of elo. It’s a small sub right now at 45 members, but if you do your part by joining I think I can grow it into something wonderful for the chess community

A lot of the learning that happens in chess is lost when playing online due to a lack of dialogue. Over the board, if one player is clearly stronger they can offer advice and help the other improve. This just doesn't happen in online chess, which is a shame as in these pandemic times most chess is played online. All the videos and engines in the world don’t replace a conversation about your specific play.

My hope with this subreddit is to bring the educational and social atmosphere of a chess club to the faceless, emotionless world of online chess

This subreddit allows newer players an opportunity to learn from more experienced players who are better able to see and explain strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and dangers in your chess positions and play.

This subreddit allows more experienced players to solidify what they know and deepen their thought process as teaching anything does. It’s been proven a great way to improve at something is to teach it.

This subreddit allows a more human experience playing, what is typically faceless and emotionless, online chess.

This subreddit allows us to get better at chess and have fun doing it.

Once again, the sub is called r/chessclub and the link is https://www.reddit.com/r/chessclub/ . Drop in and request a game. Worst thing that could happen is you don’t find anyone, best case you find a new mentor 😊

nice

thx
