Not yet, openings can wait for later (or quite later). The fundamentals are the priority.
As in tactics?
yep, but don't neglect positional understanding. my rating skyrocketed once i put effort into understanding positional basics (where do i place my pieces so that they're working towards a common goal, et al). the thing is, once i figured out positional stuff/planning, the tactical opportunities started falling into my lap.
These are extremely important bits of advice for novice players who really want to improve their skills at the chessboard !
