I'll offer contrary advice. Don't do "tactics", at least not outside of your own games. They will not help you get better organically. Play guess the move for real games by masters, practice vision, go through game commentary. By all means, don't do tactics unless they are from your own games. If you do, you will become a one of the many tactical wannabe players that make chess all about tricks and traps and cheapos. If you like chess, learn it and play it in a good style, not a bully tactician one.
That does not seem to be doing you very much good.
As I've said many a time in other threads. I don't play to get better here.
Another piece of advice I'd give that beginner is to do as little online chess as possible until he/she is way past intermediate stage. Hopefully by that point, idiotic openings, flaggers, tactician wannabes and outright abrasive behavior will be limited.
And it shows.
Anyways, OP, ignore them.
I barely learned how to play last summer but I can thank those who played with me for teaching me the game.

I'm used to having my advice ignored by people. And I'm used to people who think that their mainstream topical advice is the only thing there is. You're way too boring catmaster...

Hi and welcome to the wonderful and crazy world of chess. The advice you have gotten is good but I would just say do not ignore books. I would suggest that you read How to be a winner at chess and How to play chess like a champion. Both books were written by Fred Reinfeld. He wrote them for the average player who knew the rules but wanted to improve. Both books are quick reads how to be a winner had only 96 pages but it can make you a stronger player.

There are a lot of online sources and videos that give lessons, tips, and advice to improve as a player.

The most important thing one should follow to improve is deep Analysis after each game.

I would expect a more creative answer from a troll
Maybe its not a very experienced troll

I guess he's taking my advise that practice makes progress
I’ve been really enjoying the app. I’ve played more chess with this app than every in person.
Start by learning the 4 move trick. It's known as Scholar's Mate.
The first ever chess game that Beth Harmon played in the Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit", she fell for this trick too:

It was honestly uncalled for.
But have you analyzed the game? Doing so allows you to see better moves/strategies
thanks
