Go here in this blog called Chess Tips, Annotated Games, And Openings and check what you may be looking for and I’ll be updating this when I get the chance to. It may say unfinished, but that’s just a technical issue. Read this only for those people who know I am on ios I managed to make this because in a club I found a blog link and I clicked and I found the option to make a blog.

Plateau at 800 ELO, then start a new account at 1200, and reverse-plateau down to 1000
The single most important thing you can do to raise you level is to pay attention to your opponent's last move! The position has changed! He may be threatening something, or he may have just blundered and hung a free piece. If you don't take few seconds examine his last move, you will be in for some nasty surprises and miss some great opportunities
Most lower-rated players spend almost all their time thinking about their own plans and ideas. This is a mistake

Consistently follow good chess principles - make sure to develop all your pieces and castle, connect the rooks. Rooks like open files and really want to be on the 7th rank where they can cause havoc. Spot your opponents blunders and minimize your own blunders. You don't need to be amazing at tactics to reach 1000. You just need to play solid and develop good board vision.

STOP PLEA-
You want to break 1000 elo? Easy. First grab a hammer. Then find the nearest 1000 elo trophy. Raise the hammer like a true chess champion, and boom - you have officially broken 1000 elo.

Orrrrrrr...you could be like me and use a 300000000 ton dumbbell and throw it at the trophy
1000 is a very tough goal, it felt so good breaking it to me, they play very well, especially in the opening phase, the way i currently beat them is by exerting pressure on the king in the middlegame and either mating or winning enough material to have a relaxing endgame, for you its probably just not hanging any pieces, safe king, and getting good at endgames, most people disregard that game stage and manage to lose that part of the game, i personally very much enjoyed the free to read book "Chess fundamentals" by Jose capablanca, great for studying endgames. Most important things in an endgame is opposition and Rule of the square. If you need any other advice, feel free to DM me

It's mostly about following key principles when playing. That approach helped me reach a 2000+ rating, and I teach others to do the same. You can learn them yourself as well. Here's an example of some chess principles: https://www.chess.com/article/view/principles-of-chess
