Re: Chess: want to get better fast
Do tons of chess puzzles. Polgars book is good to do this with. Chess puzzles will help you the most. You will pick up patterns fairly quickly.
Do not waste your time on the sicilian. At your level people will take you out of the book fairly quickly, so there really is no point in memorizing the sicilian dragon to the 15th move. Gambit play is probably not in your best interest starting out. Choose a very simple opening that you won't have to worry about. I suggest something to the sort of the Scotch. So do chess puzzles, and don't worry about openings.
