=Tips for playing better chess= 1. Find an opponent of comparable strength (preferably slightly stronger) and play many games. 2. Read a chess book for beginners (most of your opponents will not go to this much trouble). 3. Visit the local chess club (Tuesday night 7:00 till ? at Books AMillion NLR). 4. Buy a software program (Chessmaster 10th edition is very good). 5. Play on line (ICC is my favorite but there are many free sights available). 6. Stay positive. Everyone started out as a beginner including Bobby Fischer. 7. Play in a tournament.
