Do you go over your games after you lose? I looked at several of your recent standard games. One of the most recent brought you to this position, a very well known position from the Two Knights Defense, the Fried Liver Attack. I find it hard to believe that you haven't seen this position at least a dozen times before:
I don't even play e4 e5 lines and I know that 5..Nxd5 is asking for it.
Did you look it up afterwards to see what you should have played? On ChessBase, there are 6 games where somebody plays 5..Nxd5. There are more than 1000 with 5..Na5. Why? Because of the little attack you faced. Even without 8.. Ke7, that is a very difficult line with many opportunities for quick losses. The overwhelming choice is 5..Na5, because it stops that attack.
Fried Liver is one of the favorite dinners of 1200's. You have to stop feeding them.

I don't analyse my games. It seems that I should start. So one need to have sone opening arsenal, at lease to prevent those noob mistakes. I think that 4 is a minimum. Which would be recomended? And other recomendation is tactics. I presume that this is how to exploit those noob mistakes in openings. What are resources for that? Books? Some online content?
