Looking for Mentor

Sort:
Avatar of wellibeanz

Hi, all! I'm a beginner at chess and would love to have a mentor. I just started learning chess recently and I want to learn and play on a fairly regular basis. Is anyone willing and available to mentor me? Talking over Discord would be no problem. Thank you.

Most people have to learn on their own.  

The site provides free lessons aimed at those new to the game. Have you done them?

Adding to what @justbefair said I agree chess.com's membership can also give you a massive amount of lessons for beginners all the way up to even 2000-2200 elo players to learn from. I'd suggest getting a membership and looking through the beginner lessons, it's likely the most efficient way to learn, and I would have saved myself some time if I had done that immediately rather than watching youtube videos.
