Just looked at your games, you beat an 1100! And have won several games, you are doing great for a beginner. Watch videos here, keep playing, and maybe watch some YouTube videos from the likes of Anna Cramling.

After that, you should play chess games. If you want to take it seriously, then join a tournament or a club.

When we were talking I looked at a game you were currently playing. I was just in time to watch you, with one move, go from completely won to completely lost! Chess is a bit confusing when you start. It seems you have to have eyes everywhere! All the more reason to go slowly.

Can I also please ask what is the point of swapping your Castle over with the King I have tried it a few times but don't see the benefit?

It's called castling. The idea is to give the king a safer place to hide. I don't always do it .... occasionally the king is better left in the centre but usually you can protect the king better. I'll show you in a basic opening later. First I'll try to find that game.
