Hi,
when i started on lichess, i had some difficulty understanding the basics of the lichess interface. For example, I did not recognize that the flag was used for resigning and I could not figure out how to find a friend to challenge them. I did not find answers on FAQ, and the forums are vast. In the meantime I have discovered these things by trial and error. I have seen others go through a similar process. To help friends I made a little 'Introduction to lichess' guide. It is just some screenshots wit annotations showing basic steps in a PDF. I'd like to share this with others. Is there a place I can upload this? Can I just provide it to the lichess team?
Thanks!

I'm new to lichess and am having a lot of trouble understanding the interface! I've only ever played chess with a physical board, so all of this is new to me. I looked up as much as I could, but the interface is incredibly confusing if you're new to playing chess online or analyzing games.
I'd love to see a guide outlining the various elements. Sometimes I think I understand something after a lot of trial and error, but then something happens to make me realize I don't understand it. For example I was in the "practice" section and saw "#5" which I thought meant I should get mate in 5, but I ended up doing it in only 2. I assume I'm misunderstanding something, since that's much more believable than a mediocre player like myself outsmarting the engine in the last 2 moves of the game.
I am pretty sure that if you search for “introduction to lichess” in your favourite web search engine or on your favourite video platform you will get all the info that you need very quickly.
@M0r1 Exactly. No need in an onboarding link for new users. Let'em work for it!
