Or 2.). Get a coach. A cheap one.
2 is a lot better than 1.
Your in for a rough road my friend. When you are just beginning you tend to not know basic opening principles or know much about the big five. If you want to know what the big five are google and find Dan Heisman's website. There is actually a lot of free info there as well.
You will play random openings and lose to easy tactics and come back later in the game sometimes because your opponent is just as bad as you and will hang a piece or something.
You have no opening repertoire but that is okay. Just look up your played openings on a chess database or whatever to find out the correct responses after you lose to opening mistakes and you should create an opening book of your own full of opening traps you lost to and drill them every now and then till you commit them to memory.
Make this a habit. Before you make a move ask yourself is this move safe? Also, think up of multiple possible candidate moves rather than just pick the first move that comes to your head. Also look for your best opponent replies. Try to find that move your opponent could do that you know you'd hate. Stay away from blitz and bullet.
Find good tactics sets for your level and get a book like baines to drill basic tactical motifs till you can do them in your sleep.
Consider getting A guide to chess improvement by Dan Heisman.
That is all I have to say. Good luck!
Started playing Chess roughly 3 months ago, and I can barely see any progress in my Chess skills. I do Chess puzzles, I play fairly often, I try to learn some openings, but I don't seem to be making any progress. The best player I've beaten was rated around 1550, so ... can someone experience give me some advice, on what to study, what to do to improve my Chess overall ? I'm already working on my visualization skills playing Blindfold games, trying to master the coordinates and I watch games of high rated players. Please.
