How to improve in chess- for beginners through intermediate!

Small piece of advice for them reading don't get so involved attacking opponents you forget they can still castle I played this lady once at my OTB chess club she was attacking me attacking me very aggressive player she pinned my Queen with her Rook she was all happy she got me yah but after O-O-O+ she said oh I forgot you could do that I forced her King to move then I forced her to take my knight with her knight then I took her Rook even worse she lost her Queen oops.

Castling is no guarantee your King is ever safe don't do it blindly I played this one guy at my chess club who had the black pieces he castled short but he didn't look what I would after he did it he castled boom boom boom sacrificed a few pieces checkmate he walked right into that blindly his fault it's like crossing the street look both ways I do this what will he or she do after I move what's waiting for me 3-5 moves ahead? Danger from that fast moving truck is not always immediate.
