learn how to play chess

when your are new to chess people say get a book on chess im sorry but thats not going to help you as much as playing every time you play against some body you learn there moves and tricks.As you play more and more you learn your mistakes and then then you take the tricks you have and apply them.Overtime you will have so many tricks you will win every game you play.MY advice to any beginner is to play a lot of games after  all you learn from your mistakes
