tips?

can anyone give me some tips? i am kinda new.

Learn some chess openings if you do not know any. . . Will improve your game dramaticly.

Here are some useful websites:
chesscafe.com (read novices nook)
chesstactics.org (beginners should spend a lot of time learning tactics)
chesskids.com (some good lessons here and tactics quizes)
chess.emerald.net (more tactical practice)
chesslecture.com (paysite which I haven't used but if you have a highspeed connection looks worthwhile)

There are several book threads already in the forum. Check them out. A personal favourite of mine is Weapons of Chess by Pandolfini.
Opening principals are good to learn but don't worry about studying opening theory.

Study the end game well - That is what suggested by Jose Raul capablanca ( former world champion )
Because i gives you lot of work on calculations,which is predominant requirement for chess.

do not study openings yet (assuming you are a beginner). thats the best tip you can get.

Learn the (rules and) pieces first, so that you have a better idea how to maneuver around the board.

THen you can start to pick up various tactical and strategic elements to keep a watch on, which should allow you to give purpose to your moves.

Good tactical elements to master include forks, pins, skewers, double attacks, batteries, and any other general concept which can be used as either a weapon or a shield against your opponent. Once you learn to use them, you can also learn to avoid having them used against you.

You may wish to include amongst these tactics various common checkmating themes. You may see a chance to use one, but more importantly against tougher foes, you'll be able to react to prevent them from doing the same to you.

Strategic elements include material, mobility, pawn structure, initiative, and king safety. The strategic elements are intermediate goals which should prove useful in accomplishing your endgoal of victory more reliably.

I wouldn't make openings an early focus, but it may be useful to learn a couple of simple mainline openings, perhaps openings you see often anyways.

Look at every square on the chess board before making your move.

Endgame has some odd rules compared to opening and mid-game. Some endgame ideas may be confusing unless the player has a good grasp on how to play midgame, and can appreciate differences in the two..

(One primary difference is the role of the king, which is bunkered away for most of the game, but comes out to play an active role in endgame.)
