Stuck on 1200ish rapid, need help

I'm very bad at chess when it comes to pawn endgames, and also passive middlegames, usually I just blunder afterward and completely lose my winning opening position.. What should i do when it comes to passive middlegames (the center is very crowded with piece and almost every piece protect each other) and pawn endgames?

Thanks

Background for each album titles?

I heard that Chuck was named from a hero that saved the band, but then I wondered, what about others background? Are they also that deep?

How to spot AICs?

I believe that many sudokus can be solved by using AIC.. But are there any requirements? From what I've seen, in each region, there could only be two of that number, for example there's 2 (8s) in a box.. Are there anything else that I'm missing?

Learning drums.. So hard to do double kick.

Hey, I've been trying to learn double kick on my single pedal electrical drum, but it seems so hard, cuz every time I force a double kick, i also do a double hi-hat.. I've been trying to learn for a month (though inconsistent), but still no progress.. I don't need to do it quickly, I just want to be able to do it without having trouble. Can anybody give me any suggestions on what i should do?? Thanks

How is this an invalid skyscraper?

It should delete both red 9s in r8, but when i tried to put the naked single "6" On r8c9, it's just wrong.. Any explanation?

I'm decent at Vicious, but can't finish Fiendish+ without hints.

I want to try to finish my first fiendish without hints or guessing.. What strategy should i learn that is versatile and often used in that difficulty? Thanks!

Hey, as I remember, killer sudoku applies normal sudoku rules, just with cages, so i believe locked candidates are also the same. But here, 6 is also a candidate in r3c6, so therefore we can't remove the 6 on r2c7, right? Or is that a special killer sudoku rule?

Why are these skyscraper not valid? I tried both and they would end up removing other 7s, leaving the one in r5c7. Any help?

Got my first sub 5 solve on Sudoku! (Even though i used auto-candidates, and it's only Vicious mode..)

I feel stagnant lol, if i try to go on Fiendish level, idk my techniques, I'm only fluent with skyscraper and X-wing... Those are the only stuff i can spot...

Are any of these things I marked a valid skyscraper? If so, can anyone explain why it is one, or why is it not one? Thanks for the help, appreciate it!

I'm a normal sudoku player (can easily solve sudokus fast that doesn't require intermediate or advanced technique.) I'm currently learning and trying harder difficulties.

Here's my question:

1). What should I learn? I know the basics of X-Wing and Skyscraper, but always have tunnel vision and never spot them.

2). What should you do when you're stuck? I tend to try hidden singles, locked candidates, and hidden pairs or triples. After then I try to spot X-wing and skyscrapers.. Any tips on how i could improve?

Thanks for the help!
