Chess: want to get better fast

[phifediggy]

hey popinjay, i'm no expert but the only way you get better at chess is by playing and studying a lot. if you're not already, get on a site like us chess live. look over books to get your openings down. review your games if you record the moves and make note of what you did wrong. if your tactical game is lacking, i'd advise against the dragon b/c it tends to get into a lot of tactical situations. to sharpen your tactical skills, do a google search for chess puzzles.
