Insanity, complete insanity,
One of Webster's definitions of Insanity is "Doing the same things over and over again but expecting a different result."
Thats how i play chess... looking for something new in the opening, bending the rules in the middle game, and trying to launch an attack in the end game
AKA losing, but it feels so good to play those moves! I cant stop... this time... this time it will be different, if i just keep trying, i'll find something undiscovered in a 2000 year old game... im sure of it.
What's your playing style? Apparently, from what people tell me, my playing style is unorthodox. Not sure if "unorthodox" is a playing style, but oh well.
Unorthodox: Breaking with convention or tradition; not orthodox.
I'd say unorthodox is a playing style if it ignores most (or all) of the opening and endgame principles listed in the blogs below.

I'd say my own "style" is unimaginative in the openings, weak in closed positions and too inconsistent to characterize other than by saying overall it's mediocre.
