www.chessplayer.com has some interesting articles by a good IM.
www.chessbase.com has lots of good annotated stuff. But is primarily for news and shizz.
www.chesscafe.com has some interesting articles, and a good archive. Dvoretsky writes for this site and he's one of the best coaches/instructors in the world. Although he might be above noob .

Years ago, my favourite site was the exeter chess coaching site. The web address is tough to remember, so I'd always just type in a search engine 'exeter chess' and it'd come up. LOTS AND LOTS of good stuff there. I've printed hundreds and hundreds of pages from this site.

A good book for people just above UBER NOOB would have to be 'how to reassess your chess'. It's great, and I highly recommend any player to read it if they're interested in the game. The book is not dry and quite interesting/entertaining.

Cheers,

Hi Naruto, i read in these forums that you are a good chess player would you mind to tell me your FIDE Raiting? i'm just curious

Mark Crowther's "This Week In Chess" page is a good one too, especially if you want to keep up to date on what's going on internationally with the game. Too deep for "beginner" stuff, but a great way to keep up to date with international tournaments and on the cutting edge of what variations are being played by the grandmasters. Plus a host of games in PGN format each week that you can load into your chess database libraries for reference.

The site I used to run the web newsletter for -- the International E-Mail Chess Group (IECG) -- used to have some beginner articles in their newsletter, but its been almost five years since I last played there, so who knows how much they've changed things since I've been gone (or if they're still around even). The website used to be www.iecg.org

PS. Yeah twic is a good site.

Wow then you really are a good player, my guess is that you are FIDE Master or something :O

Hmmm I dunno. Although the FM title isn't as high a title as it once was, people who get it the 'old fashioned' way, are pretty impressive.
