Passive or Aggressive?

I suggest lightning then for you because in lightning its all about attack and not so much about thinking 

Thats kind of true but if your playing a blitz game you only have so much time to find the best move so more or less your going to go for the best move to you.

Not really in a 30 minute game its easy to find a few good moves but in a 3 day move game you can pretty much sit there and see a lot of out comes for every move

Instinct? your saying theres instinct in chess? lol

I guess I would call it your best guess when it comes down to split decisions.

Lol do you have a table of names for different games? Lightning is instinct and bullet is guessing what is blitz 5 or 10? or even live?

Heres my standard Attack Attack and Attack... and attack some more. 

Actually set up attack then attack attack and attack

There isn't any "one size fits all" answer here. In general, it's easier to attack than defend (at least for amateurs) because if you bungle an attack you may just go from having an advantage to being =, or remaining a pawn down in a gambit line with no compensation. BUT if you bungle the defense you're at risk of losing too much material or getting mated. It's also easier to be proactive instead of having to be reactive every move ie you have to answer your opponent's threats every move and hope their attack runs out of steam or they make a mistake before you do.

Howsomever, only YOU can determine what's best for you OTB. And again, even if you like to be aggressive or passive in general, you have to remain open-minded and be alert to situations in which it's time to "think outside the box" and alter your usual playing style when the situation calls for it.

Ya lol thats the problem i sometimes fall for a fools mate which is silly but sometimes All i can think is attack attack and attack.

Interesting... analyzing his quotation, I may conclude that his style is agressive for sure. Very brief and clear in his words and also a little eccentric... Then, in the end, he does have a style lol and his own personality shows that. But it's psychology, so doesn't matter discussing about that.

ya i dont know about all that instinct lol its more of a logical approach its about probability not instinct. 

Like theres a risk factor a skill factor and maybe a luck factor but a instinct factor i dont think so.

I think the word he was looking for was intuition, which is definately a large factor in bullet chess, also a bit in long time controls.

Being able to have an idea of what moves are good without calculating is important, since you have no time to calculate.

ya there we go that is a better term. Still i guess after a while we gain a lot of it 

I know I always see at least one or two moves i can make right off the bat without thinking but it doesnt mean there the best moves. 

thats kind of how blitz is see a couple moves and remember them then go in depth with other moves and try to make a decision as fast as possible.

Forget that pawn go for the queen lol

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.

Oh my god... Yeah... Oh, I just misunderstood the word... I meant intuition. I am sorry... consequence of similar words.
