Looking for a path to take while learning chess
Sort:
I'm currently stuck at about 800 rating after playing for a bit.
I've been looking at resources online for ways to learn chess in an ordered and organized way, but most places say the same thing: "Control the center, develop pieces, castle the king".
I really don't know where to go from here. Should i start learning some openings? If so, how? Should i just play lots and lots of games and analyze them afterwards? But its not really clear how to do that for someone my rating.
All in all, i'm just seeking a sort of guide that helps me understand step by step what path I should take when learning chess

I hope it will be useful to you.
Yes most of them say the same thing. Therefore, you should use a counter argument to test if those are realities or just myth.

"stuck at about 800 rating"
++ Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it.
That alone is enough to get to 1500.
"Should i start learning some openings?" ++ No, definitely not.
"Should i just play lots and lots of games and analyze them afterwards?"
++ Play 15|10 games. Analyse when you lose. Find your mistakes.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected chess coach and chess YouTuber based in California:

Here’s some ideas to help you get better.
-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! Ask questions to AVOID MAKING SILLY MISTAKES! If you continue to make silly mistakes every game, you will have a hard time getting to the next level in chess.
-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move.
-If you are interested, I will be happy to analyze one your games for free on my YouTube channel. Getting your game analyzed is a great way to get better.
I hope that this helps.
