Improvement help

Sorry I know this is probably a common subject here. No matter how much I play/research I don't improve I go from beating 1000's to losing to 500s . i know basic opening principles and general beginner knowledge but I still lose because I blunder or play against an opening I'm not sure how to deal with or I can't figure out why. There's nowhere to get chess books in my area and I can't afford premium or a mentor . YouTube vids seem to be aimed towards the complete beginners or experts and generally do not help. thanks if you took the time to read and if you would like to play me to see what I'm talking about challenge me. any help is great.

Tactics & ENDGAMES. 

                 I can give you your 1st lesson in how to improve.  DON'T START 3 IDENTICAL THREADS

was accidental because of my phone

Did I mention endgames?

thank you .

                Wait a minute;   your butt can call someone??  and your PHONE can create 2 threads??      I'm never leaving this house again in my life!

At your level, you will benefit most from studying tactics, model mates (back rank mates, smothered mates, greco, lolli, philidor, legal's, morphy's, paulsen's, anastasia's mates), more tactics, endgames, and more tactics.

Forget about learning specific opening lines until you understand why a good or bad position is good or bad.

will just knowing endgame+tactics allow some wins with study . or will openings be required also?

No openings. IF you feel a need to browse some openings then learn the PAWN STRUCTURES that go with them instead of memorising openings. Pawn structures will benefit you far more than wasting time studying openings. Then you will UNDERSTAND the positional ideas behind them.

thanks.

thanks.

Agreed. Too many players waste their time studying specific opening lines when they don't yet understand what an advantage consists of, or when a specific type of advantage (better development, better Pawn structure, etc) is worthless. It's no use reaching a +/- position if you can't figure out what the plus is, or how to exploit it.

Pawn structure (especially, the typical Pawn structures arising from common opening patterns) should be the next thing to study; after tactics, tactics, tactics,model mates, endgames and tactics.
