Hi everyone,
I just started playing after I found a chess board in the basement during the Covid-19 Lockdown. Here you can post introductions, tips, etc.

Hover your cursor over the "Learn" menu (right side of the page on my screen), then select (click on) Lessons. This will take you what you are looking for, I think. Welcome to this crazy game we call Chess. Good luck.

Of course, the rules is a good place to start too. 
Lots of people think they know the rules, but then are surprised by something like en passant capture.

There are a plethora of Youtube videos online which should equip you relatively well. Notable youtube channels are kings crusher, agadamator, thechesswebsite, Saint Louis Chess Club, etc. The former two are directed more towards an audience who has played chess for a considerable amount of time, while the latter would be congruous for someone who is new to chess.

Here's a video from GM Yasser Seirawan aimed directly at beginners. He talks about some of his first chess games (all losses). Some useful hints for the beginner. Note, audio does get much better a few minutes into the video.

But being a copycat is perfectly fine if you're playing hyperbullet 10 sec time control, especially recommended with opponents who have an extraordinarily passive approach.
Dear Chessfriend,
My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).
I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).
Why should you choose me?
- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).
- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.
- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.
- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.
- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.
Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message.
