Partner needed


I'm OK at the game, we can play some games and talk it through, I'm not a complete muppet at the game so maybe some value for you to a point :)


I'm always ready for a challenge if you want to play someone higher rated. So I recommend sticking to one of the book openings and rehearse them over and over again in the beginning to see which moves work and which don't. It's the depth that creates the learning. Just send an invite sometime!
I'd be happy to play some unrated daily games with you (3 days per move). Then, we can do some analysis after the games, too. I like to help people but I really prefer to help a little bit and then point them in the right direction, so they can learn on their own. I'm 100% self-taught and have learned most that I know about chess through chess books. I'd highly recommend getting chess books, or borrowing them online through your local public library/Hoopla, if you can't afford books. One amazing things about chess is that there's so much written on the subject, that there's always a handful of books for a player of any strength. And a lot of used books can be very cheap if you know what to look for.
But that's how I learned. I bought my first book because I wanted to beat my father in chess, and I kept reading chess books and he didn't, and by the time I was 16-17 years old, I could beat him in chess regularly. Sadly, at that moment, he stopped playing with me .
For a beginning player, I'd highly recommend this book:
"First Steps 1 e4 e5" by John Emms

Hey, I'm free for some lessons whenever if you're still looking for help. No fees or anything I just have a lot of spare time.

I’d recommend you just check out some YouTube videos that teaches you the fundamental concepts about chess, with enough knowledge and if you put them into practice you will see your results. (Also it’s critical to know why you lost or won a game).
Last, know there are no short cuts when it comes getting at chess.
Hope this helps and best of luck!
