first you move your pawns!

The best way to improve, regardless of how good you are, is to study the endgames, preferably from a book on the subject. The knowledge gained there will enable you to decide what you should be aiming for in the earlier part of the game, in order to have a good endgame position, if the the game goes that far. Also the practice with pawns and pieces on an un-cluttered board will allow you to better see the potential of each piece, and these insights will automatically enable better play in earlier stages of the game.
In general it is a good idea to play an opening that is less likely to be known to your opponent. This will confer an immediate advantage in prepared analysis, which will certainly give a pschological edge, and usually also gain time for you, if you are playing with clocks, as will inevitabely be the case in a competition.
This is not the same as suggesting that novelty should substitute for soundness. Something like the Spanish Exchange or Grand Prix Attack with white, or perhaps the Schliemann defence as black.
Against 1d4 the possibilities are also very great. Buy a general treatise on openings, and see what suits your style from the less usual options.
With regard to middlegames, strength here is only really to be gained from experience, but during the transition from opening to middlegame, try and remember what the strategic objectives are, of the opening you are playing, and follow them through as best you can.
The most important thing of all is to have a plan. A bad plan is better than no plan at all.

In the beginning of Chess:

Good moves are for the first time:
When moving a pawn that has a:
King, Queen, or Knight (The Horse) that is behind the pawn is a good move to start out with.

Bad moves are for the first time:
When moving a pawn that has a:
Bishop or Rook (The Castle) that is behind the pawn is a bad move to start out with.

Good strategy move with pawns are to keep the pawns lined up in a diagonal position.

Sometimes castling can get you check mated.
Sometimes castling works pretty well.
If you are going to castle, be sure to time it right.

Do not trade your rooks in for a bishop or knight.
Your rooks are more valuable than bishops & knights.
Do not trade your bishops, knights, queens, or rooks over a pawn.
Try to capture the bishops, knights, queens, or rooks with a pawn.
It is okay to trade your bishops or knights over another bishop or knight, because bishops and knights have the same value points.
Try to make forks, by trapping the other player either way.
Look for a check mate spot to put your player into.
Don't get your rooks or queens captured by another bishop.
Getting your rooks and queens captured by another bishop will be a Marie Antoinette nightmare.

Aren't there books on this? Well I'm not a chess buff but I always open by moving the left and right most pawns first. then moving my knights to a safe location for later use. Middle... try using your knights and bishops to take most of the pieces avoid using your queen and forts as of now. End use your forts to take out the queen and or block the king, then move in with your queen for a checkmate.

A few opening basics:

Only move your king & queen pawns in the opening.

Develop knights before bishops

Castle early.

Don't move a piece twice in an opening.

Don't get your queen out too early. The reason for this is that your opponent can attack the queen and develop at the same time. You're moving your queen all over the place, while your opponent is developing pieces and safeguarding his or her king.

You can't really answer this question (it's too vague). Your best bet is to get a few opening books and endgame manuals--then play over a lot of master games. And (most important of all) play a LOT. Practice practice practice--that's how you'll get better.
