What's your level of knowledge?

learn how the pieces move. Castling, pins, pawn moves, knight moves.
learn basic opening principles, fight for the center, develop pieces, castle.
focus on tactics. Beginner players can lose significant material in the early game and win consistently if they are better at tactics. I like chess tempo for tactics training
learn some opening theory. Find lines that give you positions you enjoy and practice them.
