Whoever told you that was wrong. Study a lot of tactics, learn basic strategy, and start with a GM you like. If you're having too much difficulty to follow the games, start with a move by move book like logical chess, understanding chess and winning chess brilliancies.

This is really a question for someone of master level or has a OTB rating of 2000+ or a chess.com member with a rating of 2400+. What type of style of play do you have. I'm suppose to be studying someones games of that level who has a similar style as mine but I was told not to start off with GM games.
chessmaster102, I'm just curious, What playing style do you have yourself?
from what other's say a positional squeeze similar to karpov but they said to study some like I said at first instead of going to a GM right away. o by the way all the ratings I mentioned even if someone has reached the ratings mentioned but have dropped from there that would be fine.

"Style" is one of the silliest things to worry about. To get better at chess you have improve your tactics, learn endgame basics, and get a rudimentary opening repertoire. As long as you are still dropping pieces and can't win basic endgames, you can't have a style. All players need the same basic skill set and until you have that, you can't possibly worry about style
Thats just it I haven't blundered a piece in months and any endgame or most endgames I reach I win or draw if i'm the one losing so I have a style and before any say's anything about my rating I'm playing unrated games right now.
