Any beginner chess players who wanna play a game?

I have started chess like a week ago and it has completely taken me over. I have completed all the beginner lessons on chess.com. And I am now hoping to get some experience against new players to understand the game more!

Anyone up for it?

Oh and whilst I'm here anyone got any book recommendations?

Thanks! ♟

Hi Ghostly, I am also a beginner. I've been playing against the bots on this app for a few months when waiting for busses and things but never played a human. I would love to play a game with you if you are up for it.

Yasser Seirawan’s Winning Chess book series is good.

If you want, we can play unrated daily chess. I can comment on the game, although I am only a beginner myself, but maybe I can help a little.

Sure. Send me an invite to play.

Hi ghostly B, I'm interested in playing a non-bot game, but likewise I am new to the site and really unsure about times ...maybe 15 or 30? Is that "rapid"? I am very slow. But gotta jump in at some point. UTC+9 (Tokyo time)

Pick 45|45 in the menu for time control. You wont run into time trouble too fast.

Hey there! I would love to! 💗 If there are any books I could recommend, it would be Modern Chess Openings by Nick De Firmian, but you'd need to familiarise yourself with the coordinates first! ^^

Terran Shaka why you flexing your rating?

You are wanting to play a game with people hundreds of points below you and say you are beginner, I think 1600-1700 is not really beginner
hrarray
And you are probably rated much higher than that, as you currently have a 69% win rate and you only played 58 games

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber who helps beginners out :

Challenge me to a casual game on my  YouTube channel Sunday livestream from 1-2PM PST.  I'll analyze the game afterwards!  

 

 This is a great way to improve!

 

Here’s more  ideas to help you get better.  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!
