Well you may not be a grand master but at least, you are one of the few people (with stormerne and smash) who know even the name of the openings or attacks... That says a lot about your knowledge.

It's no challange to know the name of an opening; understanding it is the hard part.

No, i have something else in mind first. By the past I've always been too aggressive and that was not a good strategy so I'm a bit more careful now

I had something else in mind so I didn't want to attack that first. But I've done a mistake earlier that might be bad for me.

Indeed, but as I said the gap between you and me was too large. I have not your experience and I cannot plan tactics efficiently.

A book I highly reccommend is "How To Reassess Your Chess, Expanded 3rd Edition" by Jeremy Silman. That, and pactise. Another thing that can help is if you take your time. By taking your time you'll start seeing more.
