The first book I ever read was "How to Reasses Your Chess" by Jeremy Silman. It helped me tremendously. However, it's not always a good first book for everybody. Some stuff may be beyond the average beginner for awhile. I would however, recommend the whole Yasser Seirawan series. (Especially tactics).
I am reading" Play Winning Chess" just now (like i have it in my hand as i type...) and its just about how to move peices 😕 doesnt do much for me 😕[/b]
It gets more in-depth later on in the book. It tries to teach the basic fundamentals of the game.

If you want to quote someone, you use "Reply & Quote" (as you obviously did in your attempt). You write your own post in the upper field ("Post" ). The post you reply to appears in the lower field ("Previous Post" ), and will be shown above your reply once you post the whole thing. You can leave that as is (note, though, that it will be cropped automatically if it's too long), or delete the parts you are not replying to.
I looked at some of your chess...
I would go for "Logical Chess Move By Move" Irving Chernev.
33 games with every single move explained in depth in regular laymans terms. This will help tremendously!

The "Winning Chess" series is VERY good. The first one is very basic, but I've learned a lot from the others. The one on tactics was the best.
Strategies is the best of the Sierawan series. Silmans " The Amaturs Mind"is a grade down from Reasess, and is easier to understand.
Simply going over tactic books, like reinfelds 1001 books, and Lou Hays Tactics for Juniors, or even Bruce Albertson and Fred Wilsons tactics books are essential for beginning to intermediate players.
Tactics are the bread and butter of a full course meal (chess r'epertoire)🙂
yasser seirwans 6 books, logical chess move by move, basic chess endings by bruce pand. and art of attack which i am just reading. It more for a 1600+ player though.
