    I did vote for attacking because usually I attack... But really, I think it depends on who I am playing

    Hmm, I couldn't answer this easily. My playing style tends to be attacking in the beginning to open the board, usually like so.



    And then patient while waiting for them to make a mistake. I could say that's positional, but that implies I know what I'm doing. :)

     

    I should have voted for weird. I like to open with f3 and g4 as white and just see how long it takes before they notice they have a mate in one. I never see them get it on the first move.

     

    (Anybody who voted Technical is probably using a chess engine :)

    I like to think of myself as tricky and making amazing moves but really it's usually just my imagination

    Did they forget the word RANDOM ?

    By the way I am an attacking player aiming to mate as early as possible.

    There should be explainations for each choice, so we can choose our most correct one more efficiently.

    We're playing moves we think are logical, not moves that are logical. It's an aspiration, not a style. One could also argue there are more than one logical moves per position, therefore, playing "logically" does not negate the possibility of playing with one style or another

    Attacking! I love charging after the king.

    I would say my style is balanced yet creative. :-)
