Q+A for beginners(and everyone else)

I'm a beginner, real new and old.  Will I develop any chess skills playing the fast paced games with little time between moves?

Couple weeks beginner here! what would be better for improving playing games, or studying strategy and openings?

What's the justification of spending hours and hours with a board game?

I am not blue emu. grrr!

What rating do I have to reach to not be considered a beginner anymore? 

Thanks, that sounds awesome. I'm not that far then. 

Playing chess for hours makes an 80 year prison term feels like 10000 hours only 

Time flies when you're enjoying. Spend time with your parents in-law, 10 hours feels like a year.

I will ask a serious question. Does chess make you smart? Happy?

Got THAT right.

I'm beginner last century.

Sorry, but I'm not a beginner anymore. I'm class E.

How to learn endgame knowledge without studying Dvoretsky? It's too difficult. Which <300 pages book?

It's 530 pages. Any <300 pages you can recommend?

rychessmaster1: if you were to wake up tomorrow and know nothing about chess, then after learning the basics like how the pieces move, what pattern, concept, or motif would you first try to learn again? Would you try to first learn about square weaknesses? Would you first learn all the checkmating patterns you can? Would you train your tactical eye to spot forks? pins? skewers? You get the idea: What would you try and learn well first?

Obviously a beginner but I was wondering how difficult it is to improve. Like at what rating does it become necessary for you to not make a single inaccuracy, mistake, or blunder during a game? As well as that how long does it typically take (In terms of time practiced) to get to those ratings?

So at the "Super GM" level would one inaccuracy lose a game?
