Welcome Ana; let's start with the rules...

And then an excellent free series of lessons to show you how to play.  Well presented but if the material is new, you will certainly need to go over it at least a few times.  Enjoy!

Opening Principles:

1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5

2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key

3. Castle

4. Connect your rooks

Tactics...tactics...tactics...

 

Pre Move Checklist:

1. Make sure all your pieces are safe. 

2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board. 

3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board. 

4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece. 

5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

If you like to play chess but don't like others knowing more about the openings than you, then play some games of "Live 960 Chess". The pieces are set up almost at random so no-one knows any openings, but the principles are exactly the same (control the middle, etc.).

To find Live960 games, click on Play Chess and then the small chess board. Good luck!
