Hello,
To be better at chess is like learning a new language. Study and practice and do it again and again.
Select as few and easy to learn openings as possible: London as white, French FortKnox ( and later Rubinstein) against 1.e4 and Dutch Leningrad (+ later Stonewall) against all other frequent white moves. All these openings are pattern openings with repetitions. Learn them well.
Before EVERY move you do ask these questions to yourself:
1.are there any threats? If so neutralize them.
2.is my development finished? If not make a developing move.
3.can I improve a piece or a pawns position? If so, do it.
Sooner or later you will get winning chances.
And play through a lot of games with your openings and with good comments.
Always set up a real chess board to get a real feel for chess and for concentration.
And no fast chess for a long time. Fast chess is worse chess. One hour minimum.
