In the end game.
- Your king is the more important piece move it to protect / promot your pawns, to to take it in front of your pawns.
- A bad bishop is one of the color same as that of the positions on which most of your pawns are and also has very little space to move (as it is having your own pawns on its way).
- A good bishop is the one which has more space to move and can attach your opponent pawns.
- A good night is the one which is at the center of the board and can move to a position around. esp when the pawns are assymetric in nature.
- Have good nights and good bishops exchange bad nights and bishops for the good ones.
- learn about king vs king + pawn, king+rook+pawn vs king + rook, and other minor pices end games.

- when you have two vs 1 pawn advance the pawn which is not facing the opponent pawn as much as you can and then move the other.
In general.
- Learn about openings and defences ( learn 2 openings, 2 defences and how to use them against everything else. Have in mind on the various threats / strenghts that each opening has)
- Learn out various check mate patterns they would help you esp to scrifice things and win a game. Generally opponents overlook them.
- Try make your opponents pieces move to a worst square, deprive best squares for them and have best squares for your own pieces. Look for intermediate moves between takes etc that make your position better and your opponents worse.
- If you have bishops try to open up the board (clean as much as you can on the board so that they have free movement), and if you have knights try to close it.
- Based on the pawn structure of your opponent try capture his bishop that can pass through his own pawns and capture your pawns.
