I don't know what to do here

@martinoperin 15+2 is the right ballpark for a beginner, but the most important thing is what you enjoy. I don't remember exactly, but I think I started as fast as 10+0.

"Sorry for my bad english"

You speak English better than most Americans.

"Hello, I just started playing chess, and I find this game so fascinating. I don't know where to begin studying. I play just 1. e4 e5 and I usually lose."

Welcome to the most fantastic game ever invented. And congratulations for finding Lichess.org, the best place on the internet for playing chess.

How to improve your game? I suggest be lazy like I am. I just play games and whether I win or lose I study the lichess computer analysis to find out what I did wrong. Using this method I have been able to improve all 3 phases of my game, the opening, the middle game, and the ending.

Another idea is you could study the games of the strongest players here. Or you could just watch their games on Lichess TV. I suggest watch the slower time controls because there will be less mistakes.

Losing is not a bad thing because that's how you learn. However for some reason I prefer winning.

One more thing. I suggest play only rated games. It's a good way to keep track of your progress.

Also, at your level I suggest never resign. Your opponent could make a mistake and you could win or get a draw, and if you lose you can learn how they finish the game.

"I'm currently playing a lot of 15+2, is that ok?"

That's perfect. I suggest stay with that.

I prefer 10/0 but I have a bit more experience. I started playing chess in 1961 when I was 12 years old.

@avonm "i'd suggest a slower time control" I know, you're probably right, I will try out also slower time controls. Thanks for the reply
@BobC Thanks for all the suggestions, man, you are awesome. I'll start playing also rated games now :D

You have to check all possible captures and checks that you opponent can make before making each move. This takes a different amount of time for different people.
Play only rated to avoid cheaters and do computer analysis for each game to see what you have done wrong. Chess Basics, Tactics, and Openings training here are very good as well.

Ciao
Ti metto un link ad una discussione di qualche tempo fa:

it.lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/how-to-improve-your-chess-level-?page=1

i link ai video del secondo post sono buoni, da lì ne trovi molti altri che io ho trovato molto utili.

Altra cosa che potresti fare è cercare un circolo di scacchi vicino casa tua, anche se è solo per bambini, ma le basi sono comunque quelle( ed è anche meno caro).

Once you learn the basics, You should study openings, tactics, endgame, mates, theory, strategies/plans, analyze your own games, analyze master's games, watch Lichess Tv, rewatch many chess videos, maybe buy a book on endgame/middlegame and strategic/tactical concepts. I recommend studying the Sicilian nadjorf, Italian game/ fried liver attack, and The semi-slav defense. But first you need to know all of the basics and practice a lot before studying all of this stuff. Concentrate fully on your games and evaluate each and every move because trust me it is very easy to blunder especially as a beginner. Your overall thought process should be 1. Are there any checks, threats, or captures that I should be worried about? 2. Why did my opponent make that move? 3. Come up with a plan or continue with your plan. A bad plan is better than no plan. 4. Look for candidate moves and pick the best one. 5. Predict on how your opponent will respond and see the outcome. 6. Look at possible weaknesses in your postition or your opponents position that can be exploited. It's going to take a while and seem boring but if you want to be okay or better than this is the way to go. But make sure you know all of the BASICS before doing this or it's going to be an overload of complex information. Try to join a chess club or hire a chess coach if your serious about chess.There's probably more but that's all I can think of. :)

I recommend on YouTube mato jelic, chess network, kingcrusher, ichess.net, thechesswebsite, and Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis. I definitely recommend thechesswebsite for beginners who know little about openings/traps/theory.

As a beginner with chess it is a good idea to build a strong foundation. Here is a free online book by the great Capablanca :

Also the Saint Louis Chessclub has chess videos for beginners :

Buona fortuna! :-)
