Nah as black just put a pawn in the centre and get your pieces out and focus on not losing any of the pieces you put out. Concrete theory doesn't mean much when your opponent leaves it on move 4 after playing a bad move that you're not sure how to punish.
If you learn theory, try to learn why you are playing the move so when your opponents play badly(which they will) you can punish it

Against e4 play e5, against d4 play d5, think about getting your pieces out and controlling the centre over any concrete theory and do loads of tactics. If you have done more tactics than your opponent, they will blunder and you won't so you'll win

U seems really knowledgeable in chess, how do I learn and practice chess tactics and concept tho? Is there a book for it or I just need to play and solve puzzle a lot?

Also even though I said don't learn openings if you want to learn one anyway through videos cause you're bored, as the others say learn the london as it's very solid and hard to lose your pieces early on, don'tlearn tonnes of theory though as the london can be very in depth. But just bear in mind you can get to 1000 without knowing a single opening( at least that was true for me)

I started with the queens gambit / Italian with white and the king’s indian with black. I feel like learning those three provide a really good backbone to expand upon
