I think u need to have more patience (in general when u play chess)
Because the thing is, u are used to trying to attack as fast as possible, saccing, and mate. In closed positions, I think its the same thing, but u have more time to bring all ur pieces to best squares possible, and than break through by saccing, and than mate. Whenever u play, try to think how can i improve my position when it is closed, because u have the time to do whatever it is u need to accomplish in ur position.
I would continue to work on tactics for 15-30 min a day just to keep sharp. Also, I think Dvoretsky may be a bit over your head at the moment. However, I would recommend My system by Nimzovitch in order to gain a more fundamental understanding which it seems you wish to gain. Don't supress how you like to play but improving your weakest points will no doubt help you to improve!

Wow.... Thanks for the advice, I am honoured that a NM has adviced me in my curiosity. The book is gr8. Now, according to the book, I need to have a complete possesion of the 4 center squares, and I will be tending to exchange to my benefit every now and then. My question is, sir, how can I put up a closed game, from the openings??? I use The King's gambit from white and Scandivinian center counter gambit on black. I would be grateful if you would suggest me with your valuable insights. I live in place where there are many talented as well as visiously gripping and pressurising players like Badrilal Nepali(username: badrilal). I would like to stand out with a proficiency in the both leagues of the game. Pls help.
Thanks in advance and good day!
