At your level, you need to study the middle game. Don't spend too much time with
the opening. To learn about tactic, solve as many (over the board) problems as
you can. As far as strategy is concern, learn how to transform an avanatage into
a win. For instance, learn how to exploit a pawm majority; how to use the
minority attack; how to use the space and position your pieces...There some good
books out there that can help you. You can use a chess program to experiment but
I don't recommend it for analysis. Correspondance chess is a good way to improve
if you like in depth analysis.
