I’m no expert but it probably wouldn’t hurt to learn a few key openings and defences to said openings. The best thing I think is just to play the game. You will learn tactics naturally. For instance during the mid game you will find a lot of examples play out such as pinning pieces and being pinned, forks, protecting material, attacking in a non reckless manner, knowing when to sacrifice or exchange pieces etc. knowing the value of pieces doesn’t hurt either. Losing a bishop or Knight while capturing a rook is generally a good idea.
Learn end game tactics as well as they can be tricky if you don’t know what your doing. Other than that just the fundamentals I guess? Control the centre, castle relativity early, don’t bring out your Queen too early and run around back and forth getting very little done.
You’ll find a playing style that comes naturally to you and as time goes on expand on that through your gained knowledge and experience.
Above all have fun!

Hello chess players I've recently got into Chess and am becoming obsessed with it so I want the ultimate begginers practice guide. I'm talking what to focus on, popular methods and patterns, good websites, the works I got Chessable because of a youtube ad and am focusing on opening fundamentals. My biggest problem is just remembering all the different openings or getting others mixed up but have noticed a lot of them have similar patterns like moving the pawn to E4 and then bringing out your knight to F3 Also throw in any big begginer mistakes or bad abits and replace it with good ones. Hope you guys get some good material and helps out everyone's games!
Invest 8 minutes of your time to watch Chess Basics: Opening Principles
It will give you the basic fundamentals of opening principles. Don't spent time memorizing openings themselves -- that will come naturally if you play according to the principles.
Here are two blog posts on opening principles:

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California.
To help you out: I offer a free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com in case you are interested.
Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more.
Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side.
Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more. I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php
If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.
I hope that this helps.
