For an easily digestible introduction to all the basics try www.chesskids.com click the drop down menu for resources then click lessons and chose whatever you fancy learning about from the list. I know it's for kids but I think that's what makes it accessible.

I also highly recommend this site to anyone rated under 1300 ish or new to the game. It is designed for kids, as Mahout said, but that simply means that everything is explained in clear terms. I've used it to help teach my youngest son. Think of it as a primer in the basics, that is free!!! 🙂

Edit- Another great free resource for learning the basics, and this one is geared more toward adult learners:
