Need some tips

So, i’m kinda new to chess. I’m not really good at it but i’m having lots of fun. I found myself losing really quickly in my previous games. What would be a good opening for me to use?

A lot of novice players focus too much on the opening play. In most cases the exact opening line is not that important. That being said, here are some tips you might find useful:

At your rating level, It is very unlikely that your opening is the reason for your troubles. For instance, in your last game you left your queen hanging on the fifth move. Your focus should be on blunder-checking at this point.
Oh ok thank you.
Thank you

As a fellow beginner, I'd strongly suggest getting into some daily games (minimum 1 day per move) and spend some real time looking at the board every turn. Get into the habit of looking at every piece on the board and asking yourself what good it can do for you or what bad it can do to you. If you get into a tricky spot in a game, take a break and look again with fresh eyes a little later. If you get yourself into a beginner's tournament (look out for some under 1000 ones) you'll play a few players with different styles at the same time and you'll start to learn from them all. You have nothing to lose and lots to gain, even if you get knocked out in round one!

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach based in California. I would encourage you to experiment with different openings and then decide if you like the opening or not. Many beginners start with the e4/ e5 opening. This results in openings such as the Spanish Game, Russian Game, Italian Game, and more. Then focus on getting the knights and bishops out toward the center.
I also offer a free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com in case you are interested.
Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more.
Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side.
Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more. I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php
If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.
I hope that this helps.
