YouTube is a vital resource for beginners!. There's an abundance of instructional content there, and you can orient yourself with some basic principles before delving into the ocean of chess. It really is an ocean! There's soooo many different parts of chess to study that, even when you do study all the time, you're still going to be pretty "bad" for a while. So, it's important to focus more on learning from your games and identifying your weaknesses than winning consistently.
