Hey chess community! I am a new player to this game and eagerly beginning my chess journey! Before I do, I wish to play some seasoned veterans in a tutoring manner so that I may know what to focus on as I improve...

Having said that, I am not totally clueless because I have read 2 books. Now if you don't want to play it's fine!

But helpful tips and tricks will be appreciated as well as how to study!

Thank you,

Masked Leader

Btw I know it might be a bit strange to help me since it would only make me challenge you people hahaha

Yeah that's what my two books were on! I learned the basic openings and endgames. The middle games are fun tho hahaha! I am very strategic... But really the tactical aspects will probably kill me

Okay! I will appreciate it!

I think all he needs are endgames, forget openings other than develop quickly and castle.  Openings are openings, endgames are chess.  There are three different camps as far as I know for the beginning player:

1.Study tactics, and only tactics until you drop.

2.A well balanced approach with endgames, tactics, strategic elements, calculation, technique, and some openings. 

3.Endgames and just endgames.

Studying tactics is great to improve your intuition, as patterns are burned into your memory.  The problem with this approach is most positions have no tactics (it's great to recognize common themes for when they do appear though), as you're mostly looking at imbalances and planning off them.

2.The well balanced approach attempts to address the problems with tactic only studies.  After all, deducing that it's worth taking on doubled isolated pawns for open lines and the bishop pair or sacrificing a pawn for the initiative, or shutting out the opponent's bishop are great things to know.  Problem is, this can be too much to handle at once for a beginner.

3.Finally, we come to the endgame approach where we see plans with simpler positions and less material on the board.  Endgames aren't simply endgames, but abilities learned here carry over to the middlegame as well.  Calculation, technique, coordination, etc., are all learned in an endgame.  Some rules are different, like capture towards the edge rather than center usually, and opposition is uniquely endgame, but the fact is, studying endgames helps the rest of your game. 

In summery:

Tactics until you drop: NO!

A well balanced approach: NO!

Endgame study like the greats recommend: YES! 

As a beginner player still learning the principles, I must agree with ScorpionPackAttack. I've just recently started studying the endgame and I must say that it's absolutely essential, extremely helpful and widely broadens your chess knowledge and playing skills in general. In fact I regret I haven't started learning those principles earlier and dove straight into other things.
