You don't need to concern yourself with that haha. For casual play you can vastly improve your game just by following these steps:
1. Train yourself to recognize mate opportunity at any given time. Chess puzzles are good for this. 2. Train yourself to recognize who hold the initiative at any given time. Initially it's White but Black can seize it easily. Example: Black deploys h-pawn and push back White's incoming bishop. Black has slight advantage now because that h-pawn can clear the way for h-rook one step ahead of White. 3. If you hold the initiative, keep developing your pieces into their territory. More pieces = more mate combinations. Do not trade pieces if not necessary. 4. If your opponent hold the initiative, force as many trades as you can. Less pieces = easier defense. Do not go into a losing trade if you can.
