    Nice dude! I recommend playing blitz on chess.com, that's what I do. Look up youtube videos about basic openings for white and black. I'd start with Queens gambit, Ruy lopes/ Spanish opening, Sicilian defense and looking at the fried liver attack is good because a lot of beginners love that opening since it's very effective against beginners, but not so much against more well-versed players. There are tons of videos online. I recommend the youtuber "MatoJelic" he goes through famous chess games explaining moves in a entertaining way. I'm sure there are also tons of videos on youtube that help you develop a basic skill set to advance your chess rating, like tactics and rules of thumbs (place the rook on open/ semi-open files, capture with the pawn toward the center, control of the center is very important etc.)
