I was thinking of starting to play chess. I know how all the pieces move, but that's it. Any time I ever played chess when I was a kid, I was pretty much just moving the pieces around randomly (well, according to the rules, but with no strategy). I really don't know where to start though. I've tried looking up openings, but then I've got no clue where to go from there, and all the computer opponents I've tried just thrash me instantly. I was rather hoping it would be like a Rubik's cube; seems impossible, but actually you just have to memorise a bunch of numbers. What I want is a step by step guide to improving quickly, from scratch. Any chess players here? Any book/site suggestions for this?
Thanks, pals
