New !

Hello Chess.com !

I'm pretty new ( 1224 ) here so i would like to give my first thaughts on something that happened to me today! ( nothing really special though )

I played a game with a classmate today, and it was the most intense one i've played so far. It lasted about 50 - 60 minutes and it ended up in a draw.. Is it normal to feel such a thrill while playing a simple chess game? I kinda like it!

Also i have been reccomended to study 'The complete book of chess strategy' by Jeremy Silman, is this a good book to start out with? Note that i am an absolute beginner and now little about chess!

Thanks!
