I looked through some of your games and i would recommend the Sicilian Defense. Learn to use c5 as a response to e4
Also, tactics, tactics, tactics!
Lastly, a few things that will always help your game.
1) Develop your pieces on the side you want to castle
2) As a general rule, trade your knights for bishops (exceptions apply)
3) After castling, try to avoid moving your king's protective pawns

This pieces are not hanging, these are a combo involving sacrifice.
I'm curious which game(s) are you referring to.?

That was ill-intented sarcasm, sorry ^^. But I have not looked at your games yet, so there might actually be nice combo and sac in them.

I see xD I've only ever achieved a few combos; there are certainly more mistakes than sacrifices in my games x)
