It's very sad, but very true. I suck at chess. Lately I've taken to playing chess with some friends from school after and in between breaks for class. How incredibly dorky of me. Anyhow, I've been getting my ass thoroughly bashed in pretty much every game. I've gotten a little bit better, but I don't really know what I'm doing.
I've started to practice with GNU Chess + xboard in an effort to stop sucking so bad, but unfortunatly when I lose I don't seem to realize why. This all comes back to me lacking any real stategy.
So what I'm really curious about is if anyone has any good links to strategies online. I've done some googling but mostly came up with people trying to sell me a book or something to the effect of, "the point of chess is to kill the oppononts king".
