How good are you at chess?

I'm pretty good against real people. Found a neat free app called live chess.
Some of those cats make me think they are using programs though.

At one point (back between 2003-05) I was in the high 1800's on yahoo. I'd play like 5 games a night on avg, and I'd squeeze in a few games a week with some IRL international competition. I learned a LOT more doing it that way.
I've played only a few times in recent years, most recently with my father in law who is a mechanical engineer and math genius, and I won't even lie and say I held my own. Kind of discouraged me, yet inspired me to start playing again on the reg.

I've been playing since I was a kid. My grandfather always used to say:

If you like/are interested in chess, you are probably the strongest player IRL in your school or area.
That's how it was with me. I loved the game growing up, and it always came naturally to me. I do well when I play online and have won some great games, but I don't play that much because I'm a bit paranoid over cheaters too.

Anyone who would consider themselves good usually beats me with ease but I can beat most infrequent players who have trouble beating the computer on Easy

For someone with no knowledge of the game….are there any books you would recommend reading or should you just start playing?

I'm decent... Never really have anyone to play with me live though... Used to play my uncle is high school and college, some 10-15 years ago...
And my favorite episode of Saved by the Bell was when the Russian (who was Zack) used the Spassky-Bishop Block on Screech in the chess tournament!
