Hi Everyone
I'm very new to chess (my girlfriend and I where trying to figure out what to do on a tuesday night last week and ended up buying a chess set and kind of teaching ourselves) anyway turns out we both really enjoy playing chess
So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good chess computer to help us learn and/or some recommended reading.

Please keep in mind that we are both very much beginners

Thank You in advance for any help and I look forward to soaking up as much info/tips as I can to improve my game (and use it to beat the girlfriend )
