First Chess Post

Welcome to my chess blog. I am planning on using this blog to keep track of my chess improvements, review chess material that I have purchased, and hopefully receive feedback on mistakes that I might be making. I consider myself to be a chess beginner even though I have known how to play since I was 5 years old. I have never been to a tournament or belonged to a chess club. I own Chessmaster for the playstation 2. My rating there is in the 900s. My only goal at this point is to get better at chess.
