Which opening should I learn first?
1.e4 e5 and 1.d4 d5.
Why : they are natural and teach more than anything. And playable at beginner's level to world championship.
U can find many material on chess.com (video, articles...).
highly recommend starting with 1. e4 or 1. d4 for white. playing solid sidelines or systems is good as long as you understand the ideas behind them. for black, aim for defenses that offer simple pawn structures and active piece play. QGA, Tarrasch Defense, Rubinstein French Defense, all are good choices to study. books I recommend are "FCO" by Paul van der sterren and "Understanding the chess openings" by Sam Collins.
