im pretty bad I accidentally blundered my queen but then again someone called me an idiot and then put his king in the middle of the board without the protection needed right in between 2 pawn chains

For your level, try learning queen + king vs king checkmate, 2 rooks + king vs king checkmate.

already know those
try to lure the king into the corner then trap them
for rook + rook just lead them to the starting position thingy and then use the other rook to checkmate

That’s not really important for your level. As long you know those checkmates, you can continue. Just check whether your intended move is a blunder or not, check whether there is a tactic (try finding forks), do puzzles often, play more games, and you will be above 1400 in a shorter time.
Here’s a checkmate you could try getting for a match if your opponent does the movements
I call it the king and queen duo checkmate

You can find most checkmates during the game as long as you have a basic understanding of how pieces work together, learning the king and rook and king and queen checkmates are all you need early on in your chess journey. You’ll do better to study other chess ideas before learning any of the other checkmates (like bishop pair).
