I learned a lot in the past week and have definitely gotten better. Some of my online games have been going for more than a week, and two people have already commented that my play has improved significantly since I started. I've been assimilating a lot of chess info. The wikipedia chess pages have been especially helpful.
Chess is a lot more fun for me now because I can actually implement some of the tactics I learned. I'm recognizing more opportunities to gain pieces or position that I'd have never noticed a week ago.
It's quite a fascinating game. No two games are alike, so every time you play it's a different experience.
