What advice would you give to somebody starting in chess?

You are not a begginer I would consider you intermediate. But I would consider learning a few rook endgames & minor piece endgames. Since most games end in the endgame. If you know how to play the endgame well then you will find success in your games.

I know, I just want to see what people say about it.

I agree with yours

Hi,

The first advice is to enjoy it!

The second is to train regularly if you want to improve.

I am rated over 2400 online (https://www.chess.com/member/ppandachess). I created a free course that will teach you a training plan to improve. Feel free to check it out: https://www.panda-chess.com/daily-improvement-plan

As some wise person wrote above, you have to love chess to improve in it. And as being coach, Ben Finegold´s video “Lessons for begining chess player” had huge influence for me about how to teach kids. But be patient, several first minutes of the video seems that it will not hsve any sense. But it will.

What helped me get started was simply working through the Beginner Guide lessons in the Lesson Library on chess.com, stopping to play some games against beginner level bots in between lessons.

If you don't want to memorize openings, good. You don't need to do it and it would be a complete waste of time anyway.

On the other hand, right now you're playing completely random moves without thinking. Don't do that. That's not chess. Use your time and think.

Very Observant, Magipi!

I didn’t pay close attention to the OP statement.

Its possible the OP is asking for advice for someone else besides themselves.

Or the OP could be asking for advice for themselves and simply worded their statement slightly off.

The only way to know would be to gather more information from the OP.
