...As usual, it helps if you actually game some information about how good you are, how you play, etc. Do you hang pieces? Or you good at analysis? Do you have good positional judgement? Do you know how to play endgames? Do you know how to get through the opening?

Well... if you're really a total beginner who just started a week ago.. I think buying any books would be a little pointless right now. Just play a lot of chess against people who're better.

I just started playing chess again after not playing much at all since elementary school (I'm 20 years old). I can easily spend a couple hours on chess since it is very addicting to me but I don't know if my time is being spent on the right things. What should I focus on?

Chess.
