How to start in lichess? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink

I want to start playing against people in lichess but I don't know what is the best option for me. I've been playing for years solving puzzles and against the computer, but I don't know what is the best option to start online games. Do I just use the quick pairing options to get matched against someone around the same skill level?
Since I don't have any real game, what kind of ELO should I expect? Thanks

Missed a forced mate today... (feddit.de)

Never seen a M100 notation before. Didn't even consider that this position could be winning for black. On the one hand I'm intrigued to learn to mate with 2N va. K+P, on the other hand it seems pretty useless...
