I'll play a couple of unrated games with you if you like. Give you advice along the way and point out any fundamental errors that you make.

push your pawns in the center, never move you side pawns, learn to pessant and castle. Learn the basic openings: sicilian, italien, kings gambit, queens gambit, and the bird.

Thats how I got started also don't expect immediate improvement.

Thank you so much everyone appreciate it

 

Game of Pawns you are so brave to do that with me, it will be all errors on my part, just please remember I have no clue! Laughing I would love to learn with you and I know I will test your patience big time  Tongue Out

 

How will it start,  I mean where?

I have sent you two game invites. It should be fairly easy to work out how to accept them. They are "takeback" correspondence games.

I accepted them now what?

Avatar of Chumani

Sure why not?

 

Am I white or black

Avatar of Game_of_Pawns

You are White in one game and Black in the other. I'm not going to spend time explaining how the website works, it should be fairly straightforward. Just make some moves. We'll go from there.
