Use puzzles to improve end games

Find which endgames are the most Difficult for you, and use puzzles on those endgames.

At your level you don't need to read books, just basic endgame principles will carry you to 1000+, keep rooks on open files, bishops > knights (in endgames only) and keep your pawns together and learn basic opposition and king and pawn endgames

I recommend Chernev’s Practical chess Endings as a good introduction to endings for players below 1500.

I heard rooks are good in endgames so make sure to use your rook in the endgame

Get out an actual board and pieces and study the book shown in post 6 and then follow that up with Fundamental Chess Endings by Mueller. The 2 books combined is about 800 pages. Should take you a year to 2 years total.

Read the Silman book first, then the Mueller book second.

Don't use a computer. Making the actual moves on a 3-D board and actually having to replay moves after going through a deviation in the annotations is part or it.

Keep practicing. I’m terrible with my endgame. I could be ahead the entire game and then lose it all at that end.
