Feel like helping a beginner get better at chess?

Hey guys, I recently started a series on my YouTube channel where I hope to improve at chess through the feedback of my viewers. I have very little experience, but it seems like a great game and I thought it would be a cool idea to try to improve my chess skills solely by taking feedback from others without the use of videos or books. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in taking part in, come on over to my YouTube channel. I hope to see you there! My second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrsG0CZTd-c

That seems like a lot of effort. Why don't you just post the games here and see what kind of random snarky comments you get?

Whaaaat? You don't think people would be critical, do you?

Hey Jake. I have seen your videos. You are not bad.  i must say some good stuff you do, better players simply dont know about it . Which is very promising, you can be a lot better.

For example i noticed you do:

Blunder Check / Safe check - Thats very importhant. Many players simple does not care.

Also When you see good move i was in shock when you said something like "lets not move that quick and make 2nd check"... Thats the advice from GrandMaster (Lasker) When you see a good move, look for better one etc double check.. Even 1500+ players dont know that...

My advice for you is just play more games. After 50-100 or so you will be more confident in yourself and then start to learn things from the site.
