You really can't help someone with chess unless you know something about their level of skill.
There are a lot of great books / resources out there, but without knowing something about your abilities and your skill level, it's not really possible to direct you to the 'best' source for information, without fear of the possibility that the information could be either over your head or too simplistic for you.
It would probably have helped if you were a little more specific in your question as to what it is you want to know.
Just as important as getting a 'right' answer is knowing what question to ask.

OK...here is a reall advanced tip... the only way I have ever won at chess:
you get the other player's king into a position where you will be able to capture him on your next move, regardless of what your opponent does. It works every time.
Seriously, go to a local book store. They have tons of books on chess...some just dedicated to openings or defense. If you don't want to buy the books, just read through them at the book store.

Chess is a game of strategy
Definition: Strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal
You need to learn strategy, it can not be given to you.

First of all you must learn chess notation. I am a class B uscf tournament player. Once you learn to read notation, you may learn openings, practice middle game and end game tactics & strategies.

Yes, because there is just a magical set of "super-moves" out there that will automatically win you the game. Read a book about chess tactics, then read one about openings for white, then one about strategy for black, then one about opening gambits for white, etc., etc.

Ok, what I do is in my first few moves, get the pawns blocking the queen out of the way. Then, if I see that my opponent has left one opening for the King, and I can access it from a diagonal with the Queen, get to it ASAP. Instant checkmate, because there's only one way the king can go and no one can block the opening.

first, before you study up on openings, defenses, etc, just play. play against someone close to your skill level so you dont just get dominated everytime. when you get more comfortable with the game, learn notation and read books
