I am also a positional player and sometimes try to play tactical. My advice: don't do it
Will Playing Tactically When my Style is Positional Improve my Chess Skill?

Hi, chess.com ! I have been facing this dilemma:
I am around 1560 level on chess.com (Rapid is the only time control I play seriously in), and I would consider my style of play positional. So I was wondering, would playing more tactically (tactical openings, more open positions) improve my overall chess game, or would it be better to stick to what I feel comfortable? I've heard before that beginners (I don't know if 1560 would be considered beginner or intermediate) should play open, tactical positions such as gambits and such, but at the same time, I don't play nearly as good when I play purely tactically. So I was wondering, would it be best to play more tactical games and maybe go down in rating a bit but eventually go up again, or should I stick to what I am comfortable with? I would appreciate anybody's answer to this question though it would be nice if some higher rated players who have potentially gone through the same could answer.
Thanks!
For starters, there's no such thing as tactical or positional style but precision when solving the problems on the board, no matter if these are about solving forceful variations or building favorable conditions before engaging in or allowing forceful play.
Think of the matter as the preparations for an expedition into the rain jungle and the choices made when being on the field. Those with experience in the field will likely prepare better for the next time, but nothing will help if they don't know how to find drinkable water or can't stop stepping on poisonous snakes.
As positional play is about tactics seen from the distance, it's not possible to be a good positional player if not seeing and understanding what to seek for or to avoid. In the same line, tactical resourcefulness may not be enough if going into a modern battlefield wearing a wooden sword.
"... you must choose what openings you will be using. This choice depends on your taste and also on the character and style of your game. If you like to attack and you are not afraid of sacrificing and taking risks choose sharp gambit openings. If you prefer a quiet game, then there are relatively calm openings for you. ..." - Journey to the Chess Kingdom by Yuri Averbakh and Mikhail Beilin
By the way, for the record, as of this writing, there seems to have been a name change from Chebyshevv to llamonade2.
