Learning chess ..any help for a newbie?

Actually, what about we finish this game on the forum, with the best moves possible for each side?

And black will be able to do the same thing, although black's rook is in a worse position, so it would take more time for him to get it activated. I still say it's a likely drawn position though.

I agree.

I've been starting playing chess a slight bit again, on my phone. What I would like though is an interactive chess training game, in regard that you'll get suggestions for tactics and moves (with motivation). I've been reading up a bit on a few openers, but I get lost when the comp makes variations. I'm tired of losing against my phone. I cannot win at level 6/10 no matter how many times I try. I can get fairly close but the comp's positioning always turns out better. One major problem for me as well is that I can't quite develop a strategy until it's too late. It's mostly a matter of picking off the opponent's pieces and defending my own in best possible way, and it oviously doesn't take me far enough.
