What you should do is click on online chess. Then on the right hand side you can see Open Seeks and Start New Game. Click on Open Seeks to see people who would like to play - accept some of their challenges. Click on Start New Game to create your own seeks. After you have played about 5 games you can enter some tournamnents. Then you'll have plenty of games. This assumes you want to play turn-based chess, where you make a move a day or maybe 2-3 moves per day. Some people like this (I do) but others don't.
If you want to play live chess then click on Live Chess rather than online chess.
Good luck!!
