2. Abusive and discriminating behavior is not allowed in r/chessbeginners. Any form of abusive language will be removed. Chess-unrelated / NSFW / offensive / meme / spam materials are not allowed.

3. Do not post self-promotion materials or adverts. Self-promotion posts include but are not limited to: advertising YouTube channels, offering chess tutorial services for a fee, selling books, linking to advertising sites, etc.

4. Do not ask for advice for rated games currently in progress. We do not tolerate cheating.

5. Read the Wiki before posting / Post Quick Questions in Correct Thread. Quick questions like: "Why is this a brilliant move?" should be posted in our pinned No Stupid Questions MEGATHREAD. Also, any questions already answered in our FAQ will be deleted. Thank you.

6. When posting solutions to tactics problems and puzzles, type them in spoilers, like this: `>!1. e4 e5 2. Ke2??!<` Which would appear like this: >!1. e4 e5 2. Ke2??!<
