I need someone who is patient and has a lot of time.

calling yourself an idiot will get you nowhere

I looked at one of your games at random and I suggest you do the free lessons on chess.com.

ST_GAMEZ

yeah

my moves are kinda all over the place

ST_GAMEZ

did you look at the one with my mentor who has almost no time for me because were in separate time zones

ST_GAMEZ

he kinda my mentor kinda not

ST_GAMEZ

can y'all join his club? It's called Chess for all levels

I looked at your 38 move game against Bobby which ended in checkmate for white (you were black). You seem to be a new player who knows how the pieces move, but that's about it.

The free lessons will help in giving some purpose to your moves and help you understand the most basic things about the start of the game.

I also suggest you don't play blitz. Like at all.

ST_GAMEZ

yeah...

ST_GAMEZ

look at my battles with Dimitrios-M

OutOfCheese

If you go to the "learn" icon on the left there's a "lessons" tab, just give it a try.

ST_GAMEZ

I do that all the time because Dimitrios wont let me do anything else he says I need to do lessons and puzzles

OutOfCheese

He's right about the lessons, for puzzles it may be a bit early.

ST_GAMEZ

I've solved a bunch of puzzles
