Freechesslessons.blogspot.com now also contains most of the lessons that were originally published on on the chessteacherlessons.com domain.

At the moment there are more than 100 chess lessons on almost all stages of the game and for all levels of play on this Chess Lessons site. You can get a quick overview by looking at the chess lessons index pages, but you can also navigate through this site by means of the labels or by just clicking around or by using the search option on this site.

It is my believe that the interactive way this site offers the chess tutorials gives you something that books are unable to accomplish.
New lessons are added on a regular base and are linked together by links at the end of each lesson about how to continue. At the footer of each lesson you can also find a link to the previous and to the next lesson. This offers you an easy possibility to study all the lessons in the right order. This is not the order based on the publication date, because I am going to continue adding chess lessons on all levels.

Don’t try to learn all the lessons in a couple of days. Take your time. Replay and try some of the things learned on a board and stop after one or two lessons. Keep note of where you stopped, bookmark the page, and return for more when you can give your complete attention to the (next) lesson.

If you are new to chess and not familiar with the rules of the game the chess tutorial about the starting position may be a good start.
