I am a naive chess player

So instead of going on facebook over the weekend, I've spent my computer time reading up on chess strategies. I can't believe how complex this is... I figured that if I just played and gained experience I would magically become good and learn different things as I go.

I'm going to go out and buy a "Chess for Dummies" book tomorrow and see if that can simplify it for me... these online guides aren't very helpful. In the meantime, I'm going to play online and hopefully set up a match with someone for Wednesday night.

I'm going to document each game from now on in the following manner:

Opponent:
Opponent experience:
Duration of match:
Result:

Example of game played with my mom

Opponent: Mummy
Opponent experience: never played before
Duration of match: approximately 30 minutes (I will record this from now on)
Result: draw
