Well, it's nice to learn the moves from a friend.
But online play has the advantage that it's available whenever you want.
Should a beginer start online or in real life?

If you want to play in OTB tournaments, then learning in person is ideal. You'll get used to calculating on a 3D board, and if you can join a club there'll be a lot of stronger players to help point you in the right direction. Still, I don't think there's anything wrong with learning online either. It's how I get most of my games in since it's way more convenient.
hew I'm new
who is still awake
both obviously. it's hard to find opponents in your own strength, internet is good for that.
for early beginners from scratch play OTB stronger players and online 15+10
Should a beginner start online or in real, life? I don't know but it was in my head for so long. I started in person and started to use chess.com last week lol. So yeah, should a person who doesn't know ANYTHING start online or in person?
