In chess there are a few (hundred) key things to learn. In general you will need an opening system for each of the key opening moves, or at last a general idea of how to bring out your pieces and pawns logically.
1. Opening- Bring out at least two pawns, one or more them being your king or queen pawn, also bring out at least one knight and most likely a bishop in the first few moves. Do not let your opponent take all the center squares, and keep your king safe.
2. Endgame. We will cover the key endgame ideas, and there are good books which cover endgame ideas. You need to learn King and pawn basics (opposition), how to win with a rook and pawn versus a rook, or draw if you are the one with only the rook. In general you can increase 200 rating points just by knowing which endgames are likely a win when one side has an extra pawn, and which endgames are draws with a pawn deficit.
3. Middle game and Tactics. Two separate things except for the fact that the person better at tactics will win most middle game battles. You will also need to know some common middle game themes, pawn structures (which are good and bad) and learn how to transform a good position into a winning one.
