If you are a 1000 elo study the last position in a gm game and explain why white won, lost, or why it was a draw
Thank you very much for all this useful information !

I picked Logical Chess : Move by Move. I like the way as he always annotate all the moves. The repetition of openings sticks principles in my head. I enjoy this book and understand a lot of things.
#6 and #7 :
This article of Heisman is exactly what I was looking for ! Thank you ! These are studying principles and definitely will help me a lot.
#8 : Haha thanks

Yes, it's an awful blunder. I understand why and think am able to not do this again. Chernev's books helps me a lot to understand principles and, more important, pound them in my head so deep that they never leave.
About positions, I began "My System" : but since I began Logical Chess, I'll wait until I finished it to go thru My System. I found the first pages really useful for understanding what is a powerful position and what isn't.
I do a little bit of tactics on lichess' tactics trainer, it helps me to recognize sacrifices and tell when it is not a sac but a mistake, this way I can have a piece for free. And I begin to understand how I can play for not offering pieces.

I wen thru a few games (not book games, annotated games of Nimzowitsch) and I feel it's too early. I understand things but it's not solid like when I go thru a book. I'll do so again when I have more basic knowledge.
#11 : useful tip. When I'm going thru a game, I guess for next move : if it wasn't the move which was expected, I take time for understanding why and why the masters move is better.

You all gave me all the information I missed and I have no questions anymore, I have enough things for a lot of time :)
I play since three weeks, before I (barely) knew the rules. I went from "not knowing the existence of castling" and "bastard how did you mate me in six moves" to "I mated you because my combination was better than your mistake", next stage I will be happy to reach is "I mated you because I defeated your subtle and evil-ish combination and" ; all of this tend happily to become, one day, "I win/lost because we made no mistakes, we just played at our best and it has to be that way".
Also, I noticed that chess improve the whole process of choice making in all areas of life, this is mainly why I'm playing a lot, because each time I reach understanding of a chess principle, move or strategy, I understand a lot of things about strategy of my work.
Which is good. More chess, more accuracy, more growth, more feedback, more money, more time, more chess :D
