It's pretty easy. If you play what seem like obvious three and more move combinations and sacrifices without calculating the variations and they almost always work out, you are intuitive.

If you struggle over the possibilities, reviewing each and every one before you can consider making such a move, you are a calculator.

You are a blitz player here. Do you play over the board games at slower time controls? No one has much time for calculation in blitz.

Once you have become a master it might make sense to ask yourself these questions.

ok guys look at this game i played and give comments do you think im more intuitive or calculating?

Know your strengths and know your weaknesses. Also it s your choice to be an intuitive or calculating player. The only objective is to improve. Takes a lot of time.

Its-Me-OK

Why do you need the info? It serves no purpose...

Anyways, if you play following your gut, as in doing the move that FEELS good, youre intuitive. If you play looking at every possibility, you are a calculating type. As Conzipe said, it can only hurt you to stick to a single "style".

Give us a 30 minute game if you want opinions on style. A 5 min is just a rush and blunder paradise.

On the basis of that game I say you re intuitive..Just a guess. I m too lazy to view all your games..

If you want to be a player like Tal, call yourself intuitive, if you want to see yourself as a calculator go for it. It won't mean anything though as long as you keep hanging your queen like in the game you posted. Better work on that before trying to adopt a style.

There you go...advice from a pro. Listen to her and you become Tal...

CamelsOfYaqoob

I was joking... Ignore me..

CamelsOfYaqoob

In all seriousness Tal and OP are miles apart...
