looking to practice

I'm not quite a beginner with chess, but I stopped by to give you this chess.com resource that has helped many others (I wrote it). 

https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again 

It is useful in large part to not requiring any memorization of specific moves or lines. 

I guess we could play unrated sometime if you really wanted, but I stopped by more just to point you in the correct direction if you haven't heard of "chess opening principles" yet

Perfect, thanks for the post I'll check it out!

hi! I'm also new here, and I was wondering if anyone has problems with this site on Chromebook, I can work it perfectly fine on a desktop, and then when I go to play on my Chromebook, it's glitchy and won't load.

Go to play and to New Game. Select the gamer type and you will see a few options, including 16 options for daily games. Take 3 days per move or more and put the game out there.

This has two benifits
1. You should get an opponent at about your level
2. More than three days gives you breathing room in case you can't make a move that day. It seems that most people will play at least one move a day even if the game allows for more time.

When it is your turn to move write down:
1. Immediate checks
2. Immediate captures
3. Threats to capture or check.
4. Possible pawn moves.
Then click the analysis board and you can play from your current position and see what you think of the moves in your list.

If you are up for it, before you make your list of moves, ask yourself "If my opponent can play another move immediately, what would it be?"

The temptation is to move quickly and play half the game in one day. Don't do that. Think about your moves and make your single move at about the same time every day.

* This was what was recommended. I didn't come up with it
