Recommend something plz !

Errr~ i just have a second-hand chess board (already teared many times since it is paper) plastic chessmen (my King had lost his head ! Both !) and ive no books neither clocks. 

so can anyone suggest what to do now ? do i need to buy a new chess set ? does it need to be the tournament set or just casual set ? do i need a clock ? a book (which book) ?

p/s: 1) looking for stores that sell chessclock (digital) in Perak, Malaysia

       2) stores selling chess books in Perak, Malaysia

It depends on what you want to do.

Do you want to play OTB tournaments? Most require you bring your own board, so you'll need one. However, you might find that being a member of a local club will have the club lend you material for tounreys, so you might want to ask.

If you don't want to play in tourneys, you obviously don't need a tourney set.

Now, think about your training regimen. You should buy a non-paper board, even a very cheap one, for analysing games, going through chess magazines and puzzle solving. Again, these can come cheap if you look around.

It's up to you to decide what training tools you need and want. Books might be good, but the premium membership here is also very benificial. At your level, you need to train tactics a lot, so try the tactics trainer here, and also check out chesstempo.com

You'll also want to train endgames and basic positional play-look around to see what training tools are availiable to you.

And one of the best things you can do is check out a local club. You'll play games, and the players oftne go out of their way to help you see the mistakes you made.

how bout openings ? just have a brief through their theories ?

Again, that depends. First of all, you need to know the basic principles (develop your pieces, control the center). You might want to look at what you usually play, find out it's name, and look at the ideas behind it, as well as the book continuation. However, just playing out moves from a book isn't neccessarily good: you need to know what the ideas behind the opening are, and why are they correct. Otherwise, you might end up knowing 20 moves of the dragon sicilan, but your opponent makes an inferior move at move five, and you won't know how to punish it.

Fundemental chess openings FCO are pretty old, but still the authority on the subject. I can't find a copy-but if you can, it's well worth your money.

However, unless you are constantly reaching a losing position everytime your opponent plays a certain opening, you don't really need that much opening knowledge at the moment. Tactics, tactics, tactics are the best advice for us patzers.

I'd suggest you learn an opening you like playing as white, and perhaps two as black (one for e4, one for d4): the general ideas and a few moves, don't sweat it. Of course, your opponents will play openings you don't know often, but just develop your pieces, castle, and control the center: you'll do fine.

Of course the world is full of chess opinions. How about this to a 16/17 old.  Chess..? Fun-as games are supposed too be-.Devotion too a game ? I think not. Too much time and energy for little reward.School..family...sports..girls your age, now that seems to me where your efforts are bet severed.

For the sake of common decency, you should get an undamaged set of chess pieces, and a board that is not torn in the middle. I cannot send you money, but I will suggest that you ask your parents/family/friends to buy you the chess set as a gift. Just make sure to tell them you need something durable (wood or plastic) and not, for example, chocolate pieces. Tournament organizers will not accept edible chess pieces. You don't really need a book to play in a tournament, just go armed with common sense. I have no idea about the clock, I am sure others will come up with some ideas.
