Subject: software suggestions for a beginner

Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone could perhaps suggest some software that I might use to
strengthen my chess.  I'll give a little background on myself:

I consider myself a beginner-intermediate player.  I know some very basic
opening theory and during the rest of the game I'm okay at seeing a move or two
ahead and can plan simple attacks.  This only gets me so far and I'm often
destroyed by players who can see more long term.

A friend of mine has chessmaster and fritz which I've had a chance to play with.
 I love the annotation tools of chessmaster and expecially find the josh audio
annotated games to be fantastic.  They give me a chance to understand the
thinking behind a move and the thinking behind the overall game.  I find this
much more useful than the simple text annotated games.  Are there more programs
out there that have audio annotation to this detail?  Any suggestions for
software or ways to use chessmaster or fritz would be great.

I found this club and thought someone might be able to suggest some programs to
start with that might help me improve.  I'm not sure if this is too basic a
question for this club but I was hoping someone might be able to help.

Thanks so much everyone and sorry for being so long winded.
Nancy
