IMO the 5 basic areas are: openings, strategy, tactics, endgames, and annotated game collection.
In the beginning studying a specific opening in depth is overkill. It's enough to know the opening principals and use a free online database to check the most popular opening moves after you play a game.
For study it's better to focus on any of the other areas. In particular new players often win and lose games based on tactics and observation (is the square I want to move my piece to safe? Was my opponent's last move safe?).
So I recommend 1 tactic book plus one book on something else. A game collection is good because it gives you a little bit of knowledge on everything.

I started playing chess 4 days ago, played more than 50 games and done more than 100 puzzles.
So, I know the basic rules of chess, but I want to improve more.
I grabbed a book called "Chess Tactics For Students" it's pretty much easy to understand, but I would love to go beyond just the basic tactics introduced in this book.
What do you suggest to be my next step, should I stick with tactics and learn more about them (any book recommendation will be appreciated), or play more games, or start learning about openings?
