Ultimate tips for beginner players

I recommend starting with Jose Capablanca, Chess Fundamentals(1921).** This book was first published one hundred years ago, but in my opinion remains the single best book for a new player. It covers all aspects of the game, and does so in the sequence that offers the best chance of success.

Chess Fundamentals was published after Jose R. Capablanca became World Champion as a consequence of defeating Emanuel Lasker in a championship match. He followed this book with A Primer of Chess (1935), which some readers have considered as an improvement. The two books follow a similar pattern, and in some cases repeat the same information, especially in the beginning. A Primer of Chessoffers instruction on the basic rules, which is absent from Chess Fundamentals. 
Chess Fundamentals begins with some elementary checkmates--rook and king, two bishops and king, and queen and king. A Primer of Chess has these plus checkmate with two rooks. After these simple checkmates, both books offer the foundation of understanding of pawn promotion with clear analysis of two positions with a single pawn and the two kings. Capablanca then moves on to pawn endings with two pawns against one. It is at this point that Primer and Fundamentals diverge. Capablanca saw them as companion volumes.
