What do you think Einstein's style was? Was he an attacker like Tal or Kasparov? Was he an all rounded player like Keres? Was he a positional player like Carlsen or Karpov? Or was he psychological player like his good friend Lasker? Leave your thoughts down below. Here is one game from Einstein.

Einstein missed 8. d4 exd4 9. Nc3! when 9. ... dxc3 10. Bxd5 is just too gruesome to analyze.

Einsteins style seems quite pragmatic, practical and meets the demands of the position. Very interesting, I read that he felt chess was a somewhat cruel game because upon building a position all it takes is a single mistake and the house can come crashing down.
