I think you’re ready to play a real game against a real person! If you haven’t already, I recommend signing up for chess.com and then:
1. Change the time control on the right side to 10 min (this means you and your opponent each have 10 minutes total, so the game could last a maximum of 20 minutes)

2. Click “Play”
3. Let the game begin! Choose any opening and experiment with different openings until you get comfortable with one for white and several for black depending on what move white makes first.
