Learn e4 (King pawn opening). There are many traps there you can learn from it. These traps works well on beginners. The traps also increase your knowledge in chess.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected chess coach and chess YouTuber who helps beginners out :
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP5SPSG_sWSYPjqJYMNwL_Q
Here’s some ideas to help you get better.
-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces” and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.” Both books are available on Amazon.com. Both books are endorsed by chess masters!
-If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.
-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move!
-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move.
-You are welcome to come to my free online beginner chess class on April 9:
-Feel free to ask my question on my live chess livestream Youtube channel, every Sunday from 1-2pm PST.
Regarding openings:
I would encourage you to experiment with different openings and then decide if you like the opening or not. Many beginners start with the e4/ e5 opening. This results in openings such as the Spanish Game, Russian Game, Italian Game, and more. Then focus on getting the knights and bishops out toward the center.
I recommend finding an opening that you like a lot and can play and try and learn that really well(for both colors). I played King’s Indian for both sides when I was beginner.

I agree Vix30’s comments above: find one opening that you think is fun to play (for both colors), and make that your specialty. For common openings outside your specialty, have a general familiarity with what you’ll do for the first few moves. For everything else, just stick to fundamentals: develop your pieces, control the center, king safety. And have fun. And study tactics!

Play unrated games and reject all of the kvetching you see on here about “muh rating!” Forget numbers; your focus should be on enjoying the game and having fun with it. It’s supposed to be an enjoyable part of your life. Don’t take it seriously like the incels do.

The opening phase you will want to follow opening principles which you can google to learn better about. Nobody sticks with any known theory much at lower levels so learning any specific opening theory initially will yield little benefit to you. What will benefit you however is to organize your thought process to analyze each position, which I recommend the Checks, Captures, and Threats (commonly referred to as CCT) method. You’ll want to first use this with solving puzzles, and locating the right idea in those positions, then in your own games, which I recommend time controls that are long enough to work through the CCT method each position, so Daily chess is excellent, or Live games at least 15|10 or longer if possible. You may also opt to play unrated games initially while getting the hang of the game as well.
Your welcome to reach out to me with any questions, I’m happy to help players learn the basics of chess and get them on that lifelong journey with chess. We can even meet up on a Chess.com classroom which has built in audio/video and interactive chessboard to go over chess ideas live together sometime if you’d like. Have fun with chess!

Hey guys, I'm a beginner chess player and just wondering what the best method for learning is. I've joined chess.com and lichess and have been playing quite a bit.
Should I learn a few different openings really well or be more broad? What are the best openings to concentrate on early?
Thanks for the help!
