"An Introduction to Chess Moves and Tactics Simply Explained"

I just finished "An Introduction to Chess Moves and Tactics Simply Explained" by Leonard Barden. A good book, although you can tell it is a bit aged. I think that the best part of the book is the annotated game in the last chapter. It gives a good insight as to why a move is a good one or a bad one. I haven't gotten much exposure to the why of a move and I found it quite interesting.

Logged into the PlayChess server and got in a good game. I actually ended up winning by black's resignation. I also put in my serial number, so I am an official member for the next year. I think I really need to get on there more and get the experience.
