@NM EnergeticHay How would you encourage young players to play aggressively and creatively? I notice many (not all) play Cautiously.

I think the key it's pretty hard to explain to newer/younger players because they still have this idea of material stuck in their head so it's very hard to convince and explain to them the value of an attack/initiative. I would encourage them to take more risks, and if they try something that fails, analyze their mistakes and try again.
