Advices for beginners are available all around the places. For free. It's weird to see so many players crying out for help.
And it's even weirder to see very low rated players wanting to advise other players, for the only reason their rating is even lower.
Then there is always that horde of players who write a novel about how to improve, feeding the beginner with way more information than it can digest, or even just remember.
My advice remains the same: under 1000 Elo rating, you don't need to learn chess, you need to gain self control.
You want your moves to come from your mind, not from any other place. Because then, whenever the move is faulty, you learn something.
Hence, you need to be the ruler of the animal parts of you, the eyes, the hands, the guts, the emotions, that want you to play a move that, most of the time, wont resist a reality check, and will teach you only that you should have looked better, that you should not have rushed your move, that you should not have let your emotions take over and dictate what you're doing.
Once you gained enough self control, you can then begin to learn chess itself.
Actually, I thought this thread was 1 of the greatest threads ever created.
It is a thread designed to help people.
Higher Level Players helping Lower Level Players all in 1 forum thread vs. 200 individual threads.
Sometimes, A Chess player rated 800 can have a bigger impact on a 600 players improvement vs. 2,000 rated player.
It all comes down to connecting with people.
People who only have a 200 rating difference often speak same chess language. They use the right words to help people understand and improve.
I have had people tell me they don’t understand what I am saying at all.
I was 2000 rated at the time and the person I tried to help was 500 rated. I explained everything as best I could and in the end the player couldn’t understand a single word.
Reading what I wrote just made player more confused.
Everything I wrote seemed so natural and normal to me and to other players it was as if I was speaking different language.
Not single word understood.
How about we consider forming a club with a group of individuals who are eager to support others? We could channel all those seeking help or advice from these forums into this club. This way, we can create a more organized space where we provide resources for them to read or watch, and participate in various learning activities as able. It would foster a supportive learning community streamline the assistance process some here are giving and make it easier for others to find already given resources/advice or people they are confident they can reach out to for help.
Something to consider, I'd be willing to pitch in.

I dont know how to choose moves
It seems that nobody is interested in forming a club to train together, share knowledge, and create a more organized space for support with their chess. This is a missed opportunity, as I would have thought some individuals would be interested in it.

I'd be happy to join it. But obviously it requires interest from others too.

Do you want it in chess.com or other site?
Chess.com probably.
Yeah I was suggesting a club here where people could join it or be directed to it from the forums here.

Let's do it then. Someone make the club and invite the people who want to join.
