helpful chess resources

hello!
i'm looking for helpful chess resources that are actually free.
I've heard of some that which I heard is really helpful, but it is rlyyyy expensive. Still, I'm willing to hear out ones that are paid, but please note that this forum is mainly for free resources (what im saying is, u can still post paid ones, but free resources are preferred) I know too many free resources that never actually help too, so i'm seeking something that will aid me for practice & learn.
plz note that my rating range is 1500-1600 in USCF respectfully. i'm looking for resources for around this rating range or higher

Can anyone lmk abt some or send links in this forum? thanksss

lichess.org has lots of studies and lessons you can learn from.

Derrick Kelley’s opening videos are very helpful. They are on YouTube. If you learn an opening, make sure you understand the plans of both players.

_Chess Life_ has had many instructive columns for club-level players. Its archives are free: new.uschess.org/chess-life-digital-archives

I've made an index of some of the more notable columns: lichess.org/@/CaseyReese/blog/the-chess-life--review-archives/LZRR7WAs

And for free!

@Happy_yoYo encroissant.org
it's like chessbase but free
many doubts about the application (if any) can be cleared here.

Thank you so much to everyone who responded here! I'll be sure to check everything out

Hello! I saw the analysis thing. Out of curiosity, how accurate is it? Or is there the thing where u can set accuracy level? I'm still checking it out!
Also, I'm having some trouble downloading it. Is it a safe source?

To all,

I still request people who come across this forum to list resources, as it may come of help to others who see this. I'm grateful to everyone so far who has shared incredible resources, they are sure to help me and many others improve!

Have a great day! (and i'm hoping that this forum helped some of you!)
