I've added these to my Amazon "sample" collection. Right now I'm reading Play Chess Like A Boss and doing all the chapter exercises. I write down my answers and where I went wrong. I get far more of them wrong even though I feel like I understood what was in the chapter.

I struggle with print chess books because of my vision. All the move sequences make me dizzy when I try to focus on them. :(

Chessable is probably a good option but I don't know which courses are appropriate for 1000 level.

My friend and I play OTB and write our moves. I then put them in Lichess, but usually I don't get very far because of mistakes in my notation. I've managed to get about 3 complete games that I put in Lichess and wrote notes for almost every move.

I'm not great at analyzing since I don't know what to look for beyond hanging pieces.

If I use the engine, it's only with Decode chess which explains moves and I only look at blunders.
