If you are beginner you need one opening for white one opening for black.If you don't like reading book lessons,You need watch lessons on Youtube, for example GotamChess etc.And you need you must know lot of openings,it improve your accuracy.And you need wide thinking calculate moves.

I can prove this false. First of all it is Gothamchess on youtube and openings are not what’s needed to progress, only GMs need openings to progress and no one here is a Gm that I know. You need to know the middlegame strats or else you lose every game. What you need to practice are positional play, attacking, defending, and weak squares. Positional play is where you make your opponent have bad pieces by putting your pieces on your opponent’s position or choking them with no space to move their pieces, and attacking are pawn storms and sacrifices, and defensive play is defensive. You need to also practice your endgames by putting it on an analysis board and practice and see how it’s done or search endgames online with “endgames 101”. My recommendation of channels on youtube are “Remote chess accademy” and “chess vibes” to get you tips for 1800.

I somewhat disagree with Josh11live. I agree that if you are under 1000 you should be focused on practicing good chess principles and not hanging your pieces. Where I disagree is in how to learn middle game strats. If you take the time to learn an opening, like really learn it, it's going to inform you on what your plans for the middle game should be. So in that regard I agree with OP: one opening as white and one as black. But I'd keep it simple. Maybe an e4/e5 opening that fights for control of the center.

I can’t remember everything I know. I just apply the things I don’t know that are beneficial in my run to whatever elo rating I want.
