I have been really playing alot for past 2 months.

First studying alot, basic openings, midgames, endgames, simple tactics. But what got me really hooked was Stockfish (on iOS and Android), http://www.stockfishchess.com ... it is a pretty amazing open source chess engine. By far the best learning has been through http://www.jrobichess.com. His video analysis is great. In general I still lose alot more than I win but the studies are great and there is alot to learn.

Also great documentaries to watch ...

Game Over : Kasparov and the Machine : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLhqmqwy2gw

Susan Polgar : Brilliant Brain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WREgHsTr5yE

Also watching the current games of Magnus Carlsen, Judit Polgar, and Alexandra Kosteniuk are great.
