I need to know the tips that are standard for chess players to know if they want to call themselves one.

Opening Principles:
1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5
2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key
3. Castle
4. Connect your rooks
Tactics...tactics...tactics...
Pre Move Checklist:
1. Make sure all your pieces are safe.
2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board.
3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board.
4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece.
5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"
Mr.Bacon just summed it up pretty well. The only thing I would add is don't eat yellow snow.

Important tip. When you play a stronger player always remember, s(he) doesn’t understand chess either. The stronger player may be more clever than you, but never feel intimidated. The clever player’s chess ideas are wrong for complicated reasons and your chess ideas are sometimes wrong for simpler reasons. So what. Just play your best.
