Yeah, I'm still trying to get an actual feel for chess before I start learning from others. I don't want all my knowledge to have come from other people, else I won't truly understand it. I'd just be blindly following what they are saying, and that doesn't sound fun, interesting, or even good to me. \

If I can learn some stuff on my own, and then find out what I was right and wrong about, I think I'll have a much more solid foundation to learn the rest of the game with.

But maybe I'm an idiot. Who knows.

This is why I'd sugggest you to play on lichess instead of some other random website. Once your game is finished, their engines analyze each moves and shows you where there was an error or blunder and even shows which move would have been the best in that particular position.
