Question by Ms_S: Are there any online chess games that teach you how to play?
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play chess…but I find the books a bit beyond me if you aren’t putting it into practice….the same with online tutorials where its just pages of reading. I think I could understand it if I had a board in front of me playing a game….but I live in a small town and everyone here plays backgammon or checkers….if they play board games at all….they all play computer games. I know the very basic rules…like the names of the pieces and their move ability and that white goes first and on your first move the pawn can move two squares. But Im not big on the check and check mate rules though. And I don’t know any strategies at all….I just move pieces willy nilly and hope they dont get taken. Obviously Im not looking to be any type of master….duh….just looking to play for fun….but to actually know what Im doing! 
Thank you very much! But as I mentioned..I live in a small town…actually on an island so Im stuck with the people who live here really…obviously Im not going to travel to the mainland just for a chess teacher….and there are absolutely no local chess clubs. Theres not even a mothers group! People here are into checkers or backgammon and thats just the older people….the younger people only ever play playstation or the like.
