Hello, I am a newbie.

How can I learn to play chess with an expert?

Be prepared to lose a lot of games but study them with the expert post-mortem and once you have about 50-100 games played, try to identify where you are going wrong in your play to create a lesson plan to improve. Learn your endings, tactics and 5 ply combinations for your particular games you play. That means you move twice, your opponent moves twice and you make a 3rd move. Learn basic mating patterns. Most of chess is really about patterns and recognizing them. Later on, you'll learn positional play and identifying things like pawn chains, pawn islands, weak, backward or isolated and doubled pawns, etc. There are some apps you can download that are decent as well as the lessons here and videos to watch.

If you're prepared to pay you'll find plenty of Chess coaches willing to teach.

Thanks for your suggestion. Best Wishes

Be prepared to lose LOTS of games.

I learned to play before the Internet existed, so I learned my lessons OTB (over-the-board) and face-to-face. I must have lost THOUSANDS of games over the years, including roughly a hundred CFC-rated or FIDE-rated OTB tournament games.

That's how I earned my (real life, not Internet) Expert rating. I never came close to Master rating.
