Also.... don't know if anyone mentioned the scholar's mate! Sooo irritating! Don't play for doG's sake... but do watch YT videos or watever you have to do to learn how to counter it. All of a sudden after I got to 300... almost every other game someone think they are funny to play the scholars mate....
How hard is it to get from 300 to 500 in rapid chess rating?

I think chess.com’s study plan is a must. Why? It has the best opening principles lectures there is on the subject. The plans also go through the other phases of the game. It can help fill in a lot of gaps in understanding in chess. I’ve googled opening principles and found the information to be too general and often misleading. A much better approach is in chess.com’s beginner study plan. Supplement it with daily tactics and YouTube videos (not counting playing, and game analysis which you should be doing too.)
In my opinion, and opening book for a beginner is not needed. Learn the openings as you go and look up where the game left the book, and consider changing to a more forcing line. And learn what you can on the one stop shop opening principles beginner study plan.

Just work on your tactics
What is a good time play for a 300 rating. I dont want to play too long....
Rapid , 10 min
Wow, there's so much information. I hope I'll remember all of this someday. Thanks, for sharing
its very hard

It is easy: just blunder check before you move.

Best is 15|10. It is the official time control like for the Rapid World Championship.
Thanks to the increment you always have 10 seconds/move to win a won position or draw a drawn position.
sorry i'm maybe stupid, but i don't understand dat 15/10 how does that work

Basically X|Y where X - starting time, Y - increment.
On your example, 15|10 means that both you and your opponent start with 15 minutes on the clock. On top of that, every time you make a move, you gain additional 10 seconds on your clock.

My best suggestions for players at your level are to play slower time controls and to learn basic opening principles.
Too many beginners grind rapid, blitz, and bullet, without stopping to learn why they are losing. Yes, they may eventually learn some things, but their learning is random and inefficient. They would improve much more quickly if they play slower, think about their moves, and then go back and figure out why they lost.
Another mistake many beginners make is trying to memorize opening sequences without understanding why each move is made. Focus on the general principles: develop quickly, occupy/control the center, castle quickly. These apply to all openings. As you improve, you can add more principles: connect the rooks, bring the rooks to the center, avoiding weakening your king position by advancing pawns in front of your king. If you concentrate on these, you will advance much more rapidly than if you try to memorize 10–move opening sequences.
It's EZ
