if your a beginner make sure you study forks because yesterday (it was an OTB tournament game) I won a game because of a fork then I looked at the game next to me and the person my team won material (and won the Game) because of a double attack. I'm really sharp in terms of seeing fork tactics and once you can see basic forks you can look at sacrificing material for a fork.
I think this proves that tactics>openings.
next I'm going to revise pins/skewers which are probably just as important.
