A Simple Set of Beginner Resources and a few tips from a not so good player but has played for a lon

This is basically it.  If I knew this article existed it could have saved a lot of my time.  If you are beginner, below or close to 800 rating on chess.com, then it is highly likely you are below 800 in Fide or even USCF rating systems.  Here is a good guide that will answer all of your questions.  Don't ask useless questions anymore.  Just read this:

https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-to-start-out-in-chess

For additional assistance, I recommend reading from a site made by Dan Heisman.  In that site it will give you a ton of information to work with.  Here it is:

https://www.danheisman.com/

I'd have to say a lot of masters don't agree with all of what Dan Heisman has said in his writings or believes about chess.  However, I'm confident, that most of what he has said isn't something he pulled out of his ass.  

Now, my personal opinion is this.  Dan Heisman is right, you should first learn tactics from books, and do a set of 50 or so tactics at the start.  or 20, or whatever amount.  Silman said 20 so just stick with that I guess.  I think it is entirely possible to learn from chess.com or chesstempo tactics trainer but only if you can some how record the problem on a pgn and review it later on a different platform, like chessable, though I am told chessable is not recommended for beginners.  Chesstempo and chess.com have a feature where you can go over problems you have gone over however if you keep having to do all the problems that you miss every time you miss them then you going to be doing a lot of tactics!  I have tactics on my "problems that I never got right" on my chesstempo account that I hadn't seen in years.  So in my experience, having a feature like this is not very helpful, unless you can limit it to the ones that you did in just the last session.  

Whatever you believe, you should take a look at this next article:

https://www.chess.com/article/view/4-exercises-to-become-a-tactical-genius

That's his opinion.  Go with whatever you feel like doing.

The Amateurs Mind.  Reassess Your chess.  Are books that you may be able to understand.  I mean you can read English, and understand concepts in English, but when most people say that is above your level, they don't mean that.  What they mean, is t hat you ought to be learning more basic chess principles rather than learn advanced strategical concepts that won't do you any good if you keep dropping your pieces in the opening.

Dan Heisman, the guy I mentioned earlier, wrote a beginners guide on how to improve in chess, he calls it "A Guide to Chess Improvement," and it's by Dan Heisman.  He talks about a lot of stuff in that book.  Ranging from the pitfalls most players go through, like only playing bullet or blitz, how it can stunt your chess growth, to  topics like Time management, and tactics and how to improve them.  I am not saying this book will help you in any way "right now." I am merely just saying that if you don't know how to proceed, and cannot afford a coach, this might be your best option at some point.

Your going to need a theory book.  Something like Chess for Zebra's or Amateurs Mind but like I said books like that are complex and should be read later, A Guide to Chess Improvement has other alternatives that might be used at the lower levels.

Your also going to need Master Games to review basic concepts.  A good one I like to recommend is a book called Logical Chess Move by Move.  You can go to chessgames and review games from their database for free however at your beginner level it is more important to go over games with thematic themes hand picked for you that also have commentary on the side explaining every move, and that's what this book does.  There are other books that do the job, however, that is the only one I remember.  You can consult other resources for other beginner master game books after you are done with Logical Chess Move by Move, or Spongy can list them and you can pick from them.

You will also need to Study the endgame.  I think Silmans Endgame course is good for all levels.  There is something even a beginner can get from that book.

Lastly, there are many routes you can take to become a better chess player.  I am only showing you one, that has helped me gain at least 300 rating points.

As a supplement to your learning I like the chess.com resources, can be helpful, and a diamond membership is well worth it if you want to improve, use the study plans, and other resources.

Lastly, don't spend too much time on openings.  If you don't have the resources to develop your own opening repertoire, just look up the opening after you encounter something new, and decide there if you want to use it again and learn it, or discard it and make another move, and keep doing this until you have your own opening repertoire.  This is a long process, but 9 times out of 10 at your level your not losing because of the opening, you are losing because of basic concepts you are neglecting.

The key is daily consistent practice.  You aren't going to become a better chess player really fast.  It's going to take years.  Have fun, and keep improving!

There is some beginner stuff that you will have to deal with first.  The first think you have to learn how to tackle is the Fried Liver Attack.  

Study these moves:

e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4

These will be the moves you will see most at your level.  I advise you to find a database of games on this opening if you can.  It will help out a lot.  Also, remember, that in this opening that I am showing you, the focal point is the square f7.  Remember that.  Most of your games will be lost because you didn't see something attacking the f7 square at this level as black.

Also look up Scholar's Mate, and Fool's Mate.  There are other things but they are covered in the chess.com study plans, among other things.

"... for those that want to be as good as they can be, they'll have to work hard.

Play opponents who are better than you … . Learn basic endgames. Create a simple opening repertoire (understanding the moves are far more important than memorizing them). Study tactics. And pick up tons of patterns. That’s the drumbeat of success. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (December 27, 2018)

"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)

Yeah, feel free to add more resources for beginners if you know any here.  thanks a lot for your help whoever else posts anything for beginners to learn.

I wanted to add, that a NM told me that a good board vision exercise to do everyday is puzzle rush.  You would have to do enough puzzles rushes everyday to get a certain value.  Mine is 18, for a beginner that number might be 8.  Just do puzzle rush until you get that number and you are done for the day!

Also, a good thing to incorporate into your study plan is to do 5 minutes of Vision a day.  Go to Learn, then, Vision.

In the end, just do what you have time for.  

Different study methods work for different people.  Some like Silman, some don't.  Some like Heisman, some don't.  Some say study openings, some say don't study openings.  Some say study endgames, some say don't study endgames.  Some say do 100's of tactics a day, some say do just a few.  Some say play fast time controls, some say don't.  Some say copy the Russian school of chess method, some say don't.  Some say study GM games, some say study certain GM games, some say study the old masters.  Some say study with a real board, pieces, and books, some say it doesn't matter. 

At the end of the day...whatever your method of study, it should be fun.  99.99999999999999999% of us here are never going to be IM's, or GM's.  While i do believe things like using a real board, pieces, using books, and simulating OTB tournament conditions as much as possible are the most beneficial.  Find a method that works for you, increases your chess knowledge, and makes you a better player.
