Hey everyone, new guy here and I was just wondering If I could possibly get some help and tune my game up. I know what all the pieces do and one special move Castling. I'd like to know a little more. I'd like to learn the certain types of Defenses and opening moves. Please, I'd really appreciate the help. I know some of the basics of Chess but I'd like to get better.

I’d recommend you go to Dan Heisman’s link listed below. He has all sorts of material that should be of help to you. More than can be posted here.

Hi. You probably want to check out the "Chess is Fun" web page:

Chess is Fun

Also, you might want to get a book like The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess by Patrick Wolff. I've heard that's the best beginner's book out there.
