What he said. Every time I lose it is because I fail to do #1-10. I'm a beginner but adhering to those principles has been key to my learning.
"... 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)

"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

"... If it’s instruction, you look for an author that addresses players at your level (buying something that’s too advanced won’t help you at all). This means that a classic book that is revered by many people might not be useful for you. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (2015)

I say when you want to improve use daily mode cause you can analyze the move before you make it. you will see the reasoning behind it and it will make you able to see depth.
also try queens gambit its a good starting openning
"... For players with very limited experience, I recommend using openings in which the play can be clarified at an early stage, often with a degree of simplification.

u r too confusing you know tht
if you want to improve really fast make sure that you bring all your pieces out as fast as you can and that all of them are defended by something else, I can also help you even more since I am offering some lessons ok?
