r/chessclub is a subreddit with 3k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and solution requests, and the community frequently discusses chess, rating, play, mentor, and practice.
Learning chess online can be difficult due to the lack of dialogue. Over the board, the stronger player will often give the weaker player advice. This just doesn't happen in online chess.
This is a place for chess players to request or offer instructional games. Are you rated 1,000 and hoping to get a few pointers from someone rated 1400+? Ask and ye shall receive! Rated 1000/ want to give back to the community? I'm sure an 800 will gladly accept a lesson.
