beginner looking for FREE ressources to learn

Hello,

I am a new member,
I have a growing interrest for Chess, I know the basics but I never played much and would like to learn, where should I start from ? Learnings the opennings maybe, does someone could give me some URLs where I could learn about these for FREE.

Thanks,
Citi

Learn opening principals, mate, but don't study them in depth. It's pointless at most levels, and boring besides. Tactics are the go. You shouldn't have much trouble finding some mating problems over the net. They're much more fun, and beneficial.

Don't forget, here at RHP is a good resource, plenty of people around who will be glad to help you improve :-)

<OT> Isn't citigroup trademarked?

PM me Dyl,I will give you a few tips.....

Sorry,I read further and I see that you find mating problems fun and beneficial,each to its own I always say.
