Like to play aggressive and can be unorthodox and unpredictable. As I'm not overly familiar with book openings I tend to take my opponents out of their comfort zone early and test their ability to analyse unfamilair positions. Playing in this manner is risky and fraught with danger, especially against higher ranked players, but heh when the glass is always half full what have you got to lose.
