There are three distinct parts of a chess game: the opening , the middle-game and the end game. The tactical thinking in each is different. In the opening you are trying to get as many pieces attacking the center squares of the board as possible. In the mid-game you are looking for forks, which are positions where a piece is attacking two of the opponent's pieces simultaneously. Finally, end-game is best conducted by getting two rooks to the sixth rank, or one rook to the seventh rank.
There are many refinements to strategy for intermediate level players like attention to pawn structure and gambits. It sounds as if your interests would be best served by studying chess a bit more and playing it a bit less.
