When castling the protective wall of pawns should not be moved (only when you have to.
Good Bishop and Bad, trade your bad B for his good B; a good B is a B that is the opposte color to the pawns.
Centralise the King at the end game
Try and get your rooks on the open, half open and central file.
When moving the rook, move the kingsid ...[text shortened]... ing a lot 😛).
If you need an explanation on bad bishops, let me know and i'll try my best.

Normally someones pawn structure is a diagonal formation, which means it sits on mainly one colour.
Lets say your opponents pawns line up on the white squares...your white bishop would be a "Good" Bishop, and your black a "bad" bishop.
The rule is....if you can sacrafice your bad bishop in order to take your opponents good bishop...jump on it like a dog eating steak.
I'm sure someone higher rated than me can correct me, and every chess rule is dependant on the position at the time, but at your rating level, i'm sure it'll work fine.

Ok. This is interesting. I'm going to let me coach me thru if you don't mind. Thank you! This is a good way to learn and its really time I put the effort. Nobody I know plays 😳
Oh, and if he tries to check you with his bishop....use your knight, not your queen 😛
Have fun.

Though shamefully, I'll go on.
I do have some nice friends who can actually play who'll help me out.
