Greeting, fellow chess-icists. 

I'm a complete and utter newbie, although I'm familiar with the chess scene by proxy. So I thought of giving it a go myself too! For now, I'm playing bots and absorbing knowledge using different resources here and there, but I think socialising and getting involved in the community would help me to better cultivate the hobby. Happy to connect with other newbies or people of any level, really!

Also, I would appreciate suggestions on new to the game/beginner clubs, as my search was a bit fruitless. 

Thank you!

Sorry didn't mean to send those. I just started but we could improve together. Also I'm learning Spanish so you could help me with Spanish chess terms too.

Hi!

I’m happy to play unrated games, either Daily or Live format time controls, or discuss chess concepts and how to learn chess as well. Chess is fun, don’t let the volume of chess materials and options intimidate you in learning the game, just take one step at a time with it! And ask questions whenever!

Here's a suggestion:

Just play. don't study it like ur life depends on it. Try to pick up tactics and moves used by ur opponent, or bots.

And an app called "Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf" Is also helpful.

Hi, Jordan! Thank you so much for your reply. I'm currently trying to absorb some basic notions, learning the terminology (gotta love a new lingo ) and playing bots, which I'm aware is not the best, since they play very, say, non-humanly sometimes, but for now I'm working on my focus on the board situation as a whole. I'm also playing 1 day games, which I like, since I have plenty of time to play and socialise at leisure! Fancy playing one of these? 

You know you are truly new to something when you don't even have questions! Yet. I'm thinking of getting a book too maybe. Old school, I know - but I love books, what can I do

Hi! I'm not new to this game, Just I really need more practice for myself just for self esteem, really. ( Hope that's not bad ) Anyways I'm not new to this game, I've joined chess clubs before in my previous school and I sucked, but at that time I didn't care since it's just a chess club and I forgot about it. But today is different, I've felt bored and wanted a new experience ( Because of Covid {It really sucks} ) I tried downloading some chess games and I realized I was bad at it, even my younger cousin was better than me. If Anyways wants to practice with me it will be appreciated. 

Suggestion: I would say learn more tactics, traps and learn the value of chess pieces, it helped me a bit when I learned some of them.
