Zeritox... As a beginner i would give you this advice. First...enjoy your chess...let it be fun.

Do not worry about losing...everyone has.We all started from zero.

Do no just say to yourself...what happens if i do this or do that...Try it. The worst that can happen is that you lose the game, it's not the end of the world. Experiment. Learn from each game.

i recommend...The Tao of Chess...it gives you basic chess principles you can apply to all of your games. Also Lev Alburt ...his books are good. Lots of free videos on youtube that will help you.

Do not just memorise and opening...understand why the moves are made. Do not play like a robot.Learn to understand the reason behind moves. The game is divided into 3 phases...the opening / middlegame / endgame. Enjoy the game and have fun.Every game is a win if you learn from it.

Will do, After thinking about it a bit i realized its the best option for me since im just starting, thanks for the help

I bought Bobby Fischer teaches chess, and it's okay. Alot of basic mates, went through the book in like 5 days. Jeremy Silman's Encyclopedia of Chess Strategy is not a good book, it is more like a dictionary of chess terms and ideas with examples. Finally, I bought The Soviet Chess Primer by Ilya Mazaelis and this book is amazing. Really hard for me, a lesson takes about an hour usually, but so far I think my game has improved as my accuracy lately has been improving. Used to be 50/60%, now about 70% on average.
