The main point you need to be aware of as a new player is that the game is very manipulative, it wants players to think they are good at the game, get addicted and ultimately spend money. It is not actually so much of a strategy game as you would think. There are easy and difficult versions of each of the levels. Some players get a "lucky board" which lets you pass with ease on their first try, some on their second try, some when they have one life left, some not until in the next day. I would advise you against buying extra moves until you have tried a level several times, and only buy extra moves with gold if you are really stuck and if you can definitely see that you will pass the level with the one set of extra moves. Boosters can be very useful and should be used wisely. Gold is precious and should be saved up for later in the game when it gets really tough to progress without it. Don't spend real money. Players who do find they get fewer offers to get free boosters.
Playing strategy differs from player to player, but my strategy is to try to earn gold by winning episode races. These start at level 67 and are about the only means to earn gold. They are not a real time event and pit you against players who played long before you. To win the episode race try to play in as few sessions as possible. If you complete an entire episode in a single run you will always win it.

No, not chance really. It is manipulation by the level designers. They decide who gets to pass a level and when they will pass it.
I believe that they assign players to different groups at the start and do constant test features to see which type of game will make the most players spend money on the game in the longer run. For example some players get ads to watch for extra moves, others don't. Some get lots of easy levels, lots of lucky boards and events like the candy necklace (win streak) really early on, others much later. I guess it's luck which group you are allocated in, but eventually it levels out. Your strategy should be to beat the algorithms that are Candy Crush. They can be beaten. I am still able to reach the end of the map at intervals, though it can be more of a chore than fun.

Some levels are like that, those are the lucky boards that make colour bombs drop out of seemingly nowhere. On most levels you need to look at the board and see what opportunities there are to get combos of striped and wrapped candies etc. You need to look at what is required and match candies to fulfil the order. Watching the YouTube videos helps, they usually show you how best to pass. But it does depend on what candies drop from the top, and those are determined by an algorithm, which is not random. What you make out of those candies, that is up to you and it does matter if you know how to take advantage of opportunities.

Sorry, my French is not that great either, and unfortunately the moderators will block any posts that are not English.
Yes, there is strategy.
You need to look for opportunities to make special candies to pass easy levels.
Recognise levels that have been manipulated to block you and do not waste gold bars on those. Replay those until they let you pass.
Check out the videos posted on YouTube if you do not know how to pass a level.

There is no simple strategy to get through level in general.
In fact I would advise you against playing Candy Crush at the moment. The levels have been made too hard because of the Candy Cup. New players will not get past level 225, 235, 240 or 245 without spending their gold. At least one of those levels will see you get stuck. Time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine instead.
