Read the last sentence of my previous post, Noxxion. What is your painting style? How would you know without studying the styles of the great masters?
Consciousness precedes style.
thanks
No one is really "tactical", otherwise they would lose most of the time =)
Most play is positional. Your play is MOSTLY positional indeed no? Theres not point knowing if ur postitional or tactical; the best answer i can give is that your both.
However there are people who like to go in for risks - aka tactics, or make up lots of pins etc. pins, skewers can be considered tactics. However it could be a positional move too.
whether ur tactical or positional largely relies on your openings. On your openings, you seem more positional to me; your not really attacking i dunno, its like what fezzik said, ur a classical player =P
take karpov. he plays quiet chess playing for small advantages but he is one of the strongest calculators of all time. some of those preventing moves are really deep. you need to know a little of everything

Saying a good chess player is "tactical" is like saying a good carpenter can use a hammer and saw. It's not a style choice, it's the tools of the trade.
agreed. the main "style" in chess is really your openings and the type of game you prefer
that being said, you shouldnt aim to be like "more tactical" or "more positional",just assess the game and play the move you think is best. Best not to think "hmm, i need to be more tactical?" Then have that influence your "best move". No no, just play what you think is best. Of course you already knew that, and i assume you get this idea from the general hubub of chess, tactical positional etc. If it were me, just ignore it and go on =P It doesn't really help at all.

can someone quickly run thru some of my games and tell me what type of player I am? I have a hard time telling whether I am positional/defensive or tactical...
