Good MOVE?

John and I agreed that we would not spend $ on each other for Valentine's Day this year so I  ended up getting him a gift from Pier 1 (one of my favorite stores) because I had a gift card there.  He knew I got him something from Pier 1, which totally puzzled him - what could I possibly get him that he would like from Pier 1?

Well, I got him one of his favorite games - CHESS!  I admit that it took a week for him to convince me to play it with him.  I finally gave in today.  I can't decide if it was a good move to give him this gift or not?  Now he expects me to learn how to play.

Each turn, I had to ask John what each piece can do.  I am sure I drove him crazy!  Can anyone give me some advice/strategy tips just in case I have to play him again?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
