How to get better in chess as a beginner?

Introduction:

I had this question in my head since I started playing chess, the desire to see myself playing better chess and improving in a decent way. I wanted to know the way to train without having a coach and without spending 24 hours a day on chess because I have a life. After an exciting experience, I finally found the way and I'm going to share it.

1-Play a lot of games:

    Playing a lot of games everyday will help you to get a better understanding of the game itself. By time, it will be easy to spot traps, tricks, and stupid moves in the opening, because of that, you will never ever have a completely losing position in the first 15 moves because you probably already played a game similar to the one you are playing.

    Also, you will find yourself with a huge opening knowledge because your opponents will not stick to the same openings.

2-Study top players' games:


    When studying top chess players' games, you will get experience in dealing with hard positions. If you play a certain opening, you can see other masters that play it and see how they act in those positions and which ideas the go for.
    Search through millions of top games played by the strongest chess players of the past and present. From world chess champions to FIDE masters, you will find an enormous collection of games that you can search, sort, and download.

3-Watch YouTube:


    Actually, watching YouTube is one of the most popular things when it comes to learning new things, and chess is not an exception. Watching great chess players and coaches in YouTube will help develop your play, because a lot of them play games and explain every move so you fell like you are in the head of a great player (happens a lot on the speedrun series), you will experience a high level of calculations that you may not find in other places. 

    Also, watching chess youtubers is entertaining :').

Here's a list of some good channels:
