Hi, my question is in the title. I was interested in different styles of chess play and one of the things I read somewhere was about preferences of players who may like to avoid captures while other players may have a style when they like exchanging. I would like to find some games where the players make a lot of moves before choosing to capture a piece. Does anybody know whether there is a way to search in any database based on this criteria?

Alternatively, if you know if any game records based on my description can you please post them?

Check out this game Hans Niemann vs Sebastien Maze where there was no capture at all!

By the way, there is no such thing as style based on capturing or not capturing. There are, however, styles where player prefers sharp positions with many tactical possibilities or quiet positions with lots of maneuvering.
