Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.
Rules:
Posts must ask a question.
If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.
Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.
Try !feedback@hexbear.net if you're having questions about regarding moderation, site policy, the site itself, development, volunteering or the mod team.
Honestly, just sign up for chess.com or Lichess and jump in. It'll take a while to get comfortable with the pieces and win but the best way to learn is by doing. Both sites have training and puzzles too. Once you start getting a feel for how the pieces move and if you're enjoying it you can look up openings for beginners online and practice those.
I've been playing since 2019 pretty much constantly. I had no experience when I started and while I'm not great by any stretch I love playing and I'm really glad I picked it up.
If you ever want a game DM me.
