Just play puzzles and lessons. There are probably people here that will help you learn your lines 

Hi,

Initially your focus with chess is to keep it fun and don’t worry about losing, it’ll happen a lot and we’ve all been there. View losses as live instruction and review the game afterwards to figure out the mistakes made and avoid repeating them. Openings- develop the E or D pawn to the center and put your pieces towards the center, always ensuring everything is safe and/or defended. Every move ask yourself what’s being threatened. Castle early to avoid getting your king stuck in the middle of the board. Each day solve a few chess puzzles, play a game or two, I recommend Daily or if Live, 15|10. Think about your moves, take your time. I’d avoid bots, play humans. Low level bots do not play human type ideas. Have fun with it, ask questions, maybe find a few players who’ll play games with you and discuss chess strategies. I’m always up for playing unrated games and analyzing the games afterwards with others and others likely will do similar. Don’t be shy, get in and have fun with the game!

The point of the game is by showing no mercy for your opponent.And by showing no mercy,I mean developing your pieces and controlling the center.Its hard for you to continue to play with your pieces on their starting squares.Centralizing any piece will maximize your piece’s potential(and not the king)

Hi! Welcome to the world of chess!  Chess is a male-dominated game, so I am so happy that you starting out in chess!

Here’s some ideas to help you get better.  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.  

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move!  

-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move.

It never is. Anyway egirl has been offline for the 10 days now.  Chess is probably not working out for her.
