There are certain rules that are generally true in chess, look out for tips from the masters. Here's a basic tip for a beginner...certain pieces are more useful at the beginning e.g. a knight, whereas a bishop is more useful when there's less left on the board i.e. it can target a larger number of squares

Do you generally just lookup the games online? Youtube videos? Or is there a chess app that allows you to load game sequences and watch them play out? A a book you'd recommend with a good collection of games? There's no denying Chess is the granddaddy of all Strategy gaming. It's a game I would love to get better at, but there's just nobody I know who plays really. So I'd be left mostly with online play.
