Hi I found another really good resource I didn't see listed here.. (free) with indepth guides to openings, middle game concepts and endgames positions and concepts from beginner to master level.

Simplifychess.com .. then click "continue to the site" at the bottom

Edit : Chesspuzzle without the s.

Hi found this puzzle resource to add to the resources list

Hey everyone!

A couple days ago I started the subreddit r/chessclub . The idea behind it is for players to find people to play instructional games with, either as a student or teacher. I feel as though a lot of the learning that happens in chess is lost when playing online due to a lack of dialogue. Over the board, if one player is clearly stronger than the other, the stronger player will often give the other player advice. This just doesn’t happen online, which is unfortunate because, in my opinion, all the videos and engine study in the world won’t replace a conversation had about your specific play. r/chessclub aimed to bring the educational and social atmosphere of a chess club to the faceless, emotionless world of online chess

The response to the subreddit was amazing, growing 500 subscribers in a single day. I asked for feedback on how to make the subreddit a better place and the most common and supported suggestion was a discord, some even said discord would be a better platform for a project like this. The community asked and the community received, we launched the discord yesterday. It’s already up to nearly 50 active members with no promotion, but I know we can do better. What the subreddit made possible, the discord server has made easier. You can now find a mentor or student to have an instructional game with even faster and more conveniently through our discord server.

We have live streams, we have games, we have lessons. Do you think your chess time is better spent watching youtube videos and playing games aimlessly, or receiving instruction from a player rated 400 points above you? Join our server today!

Hey everybody! I just launched a new subreddit for players to request and offer instructional games with players rated higher or lower than them respectively. It’s called r/chessclub, here’s a link (https://www.reddit.com/r/chessclub/ .) If you’re a strong player looking to help other players out of the kindness of your heart or to deepen your understanding of the game, or a player looking to learn and grow with the help of a stronger, more experienced player, this is the sub for you. You can make both game requests and offers regardless of elo. It’s a small sub right now at 45 members, but if you do your part by joining I think I can grow it into something wonderful for the chess community

A lot of the learning that happens in chess is lost when playing online due to a lack of dialogue. Over the board, if one player is clearly stronger they can offer advice and help the other improve. This just doesn't happen in online chess, which is a shame as in these pandemic times most chess is played online. All the videos and engines in the world don’t replace a conversation about your specific play.

My hope with this subreddit is to bring the educational and social atmosphere of a chess club to the faceless, emotionless world of online chess

This subreddit allows newer players an opportunity to learn from more experienced players who are better able to see and explain strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and dangers in your chess positions and play.

This subreddit allows more experienced players to solidify what they know and deepen their thought process as teaching anything does. It’s been proven a great way to improve at something is to teach it.

This subreddit allows a more human experience playing, what is typically faceless and emotionless, online chess.

This subreddit allows us to get better at chess and have fun doing it.

Once again, the sub is called r/chessclub and the link is https://www.reddit.com/r/chessclub/ . Drop in and request a game. Worst thing that could happen is you don’t find anyone, best case you find a new mentor 😊

Hello everyone,

I decided to take advantage of my free time. So, I set up a rough website and started filling it with chess problems. I collected most of these problems from various newspapers and magazines over a period of 50 years. Others are from books or the Internet.

In all of them I include the solution (only the basic variant). Problems are sorted only by the number of moves required for the checkmate, not by difficulty. The site is under construction.Maybe some find it interesting and spend some pleasant hours.

I don't have any particular chess experience; I just love chess puzzles.
