Hi,
Apart from the basic chess-rules, are there also books (or even websites)
that teach as much as possible chess nice-to-knows?
E.g.: it's good if a knight attacks weak pawns, or a rook on an open file is
good. Stuff like that.
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you're a newcomer to the game - your question is a
bit like asking if there are any sand grains in the Sahara Desert!
There have probably been more books written about chess than all other
games combined, and chess-related web-sites are legion, so the problem
is not finding books or web-sites, but finding good ones.
A good web-site is www.chesscafe.com, which has many instructive
columns (for you I would recommend Dan Heisman's Novice Nook),. and
also links to the U.S. Chess Federation catalog of books, DVDs and
other instructional material.
One book in particular I always recommend: "Logical Chess: Move by
Move" by Irving Chernev (http://uscfsales.com/item.asp?PID=239 ).
Have fun discovering chess!
