No computer can help you with chess. You have to learn it yourself. Play with your friends for years, only that can improve your skills.

Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
Of course there is. The germans have developed their own chess engine or something that'll help you to beat your friends!

Found it: Chessbase

Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
Skull is right. It's better to learn from real people than a computer. Learn from other family members and friends that are interested in it.

Chess.com.

You can play against people all over the world for free. Oh, and playing against the computer will help you get better, assuming you play against a strong computer opponent.

What you must do is take a real chess board and stare at it until 30 minutes after you think your mind has snapped. Reread the rules, play a practice game against yourself and you could beat God at chess.

Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
You enter a state of eternal Check-mate, much like what happens after you spend a month on TDN.
