Who can teach me the basic things?

I'm from venezuela, and I'm learning by myself, I want to win against some players of my city, is there someone who can teach me for free? I ust want to know how to continue learning
I notice you play a lot of bullet chess. My question is, what is the point of playing bullet non stop if you're going to drop pieces throughout the games? Are you really trying to improve or just want to generate tons of volume?

Don't become that player with 3,000 bullet games played, with a 1500 rating :(
ralcchess i also learned completly on own. My advice is to do tactics and 10 minute chess. I recommend you use Yasser seirawans book 'winning chess tactics'. You could also try to play blind fold games (first playing say endgames and then slowly increasing the amount of pieces)

My advice to you is to stop playing online bullet, and play more 10-15 min games. You can maybe use the book 'Looking for Trouble' by Dan Heisman, which I used as a beginner. You should also do a lot of tactics and learn basic strategy. Also join a club in your locality, so that you can interact with other chess players and learn from them.

Best of luck!
