And also, just to complement and clarify a little more our thread. Playing passively doesn't necessarily imply that this person has a defensive style... the circumstance(s) simply leads her/him to change and adapt... but in general he/she is an agressive one. Having as principle that, we can say that every player starts having a common objetive: capture the opponent's king. And hence who maintains the excessive attack might win in the end. So, passive is a consequence after all.
"Passive" is a term in the opening mostly, but it just means a "wimpy" move, it means "not active".
Yeah lol... I know about that. I'm just saying passive rather than defensive to be clearer to Vanessa. I know about the definition. Anyway thanks for remembering, it's important to distinguish.
