Very new to Chess

This will probably be pretty obvious to anyone checking out this game, but I have almost no experience with Chess, and I don't really know where to begin, so I got myself a book and am working through that. In addition to that, I play games against computer opponents at the lowest level they can go and win as often as I lose. I am posting a game I won against the easiest setting on the PyChess engine. I am posting this game because I want to get a feel for the things I should be working on for the next little bit. I did not annotate it because the only things I know about Chess right now are how the pieces move and that I'm supposed to try to have a presence in the center of the board.

Also, I've never worked with PGN stuff before, so if I'm saving my games wrong, please let me know.

Thanks for your help.

Work on finding good moves and saving your pieces. Your opponent is absolutely blind for doing Qxb1?? on move 6. Make sure you watch for some obvious tactics that were thrown your way. 14. exf5?? lost your rook for nothing.
