http://logicalchess.com/resources/index.html has some games from the book "logical chess move by move". when i first looked at the games in this book it really helped my play alot, but it also i think was part of what caused me to always place my bishops at the same places(c4 and f4)for a long time, whatever the position called for. and i think it is a little dogmatic about such rules of thumb as "knights before bishops" which has numerous exceptions. but its still a great book for the begginner and will clarify alot about beginning strategy and is pretty easy to study.
