I’ve been attempting to raise my skill level in chess, but I cannot seem to improve. Any advice?
What should be the order to learn skill for a complete beginner like me. Openings then tactics then eng game ?? or what is your advice ??
Openings won’t decide your game, they will determine how the game will go, a caro Kann will usually be defensive and solid, but that doesn’t mean just because you play an opening it will give you supernatural abilities
If you blunder your queen after the first few moves, the opening won’t matter

I would recommend starting with mastering the basic chess principles like controlling the center, developing knights before bishops, get castled quick, etc. That will help in both openings and spill into middlegames. After that I would learn just the basic endgame mates and skills like opposition and maxims like "rooks belong behind passed pawns". This is controversial to some, but I don't think beginners need much more than that in terms of endgame since most games will be decided long before that when they hang all their pieces. Alongside the previously mentioned, you should be doing many puzzles to help ingrain tactical motifs into your brain to be able to start to recognise patterns during your games. This should be a good enough start
Yeah, whatever #5 said
