Hi! I'm new to chess, and I've been facing some problems with openings patterns and mainly with pieces' development. Any book recomendation? Or a book list to the basic?

I've been really enjoying this one and find it both accessable as a beginner but also over I can keep coming back to and learning more...

For openings try Discovering Chess Openings by John Emms. It teaches Opening Principles. I'm working through it at the moment. I highly recommend Smithys Opening Fundamentals which is a free course on Chessable (google it). Again, it focuses on principles and common themes not specific openings. Also Try Logical Chess by Chernev. It's a collection of GM games selected and every move annotated to teach principles.
