I consider myself to be a wide aggressive player with a tactical view and imagination worthy to be compared with Tal but I like quiet positions, I find myself at home in QGD and Ruy Lopez, yet I like mating and sacing pieces as a coup d' grace. What opening should I play?

Oh man, I would be ashamed to say I code for Chess.com, can't even make posts go where they belong.
For your strenght and style, I recomend you play the Napoleon Attack and the Wayward Queen Attack.
You will find in your games that you get many quick checkmates!
So, you like the Ruy Lopez, huh? If you "lose" a little money here and there maybe you can get the "The Berlin Defence" name changed to "The Hispanic Wall" and take that up?

I already bought the opening's name rights. If someone says Berlin defense he will get sued.

Thanks for calling me Nakamura but I am a little bit more positional and usually after 2.Qh5 or 2.Qf3 I will just get an edge but not any positionally mating attacks, at 2100 ELO people do not hang mates.

Benko gambit may be fun. Very slow gambit but you have to look out for any tactics on the queenside.

Yuri sounds Russian. And I am not sure if I should play something Mexican like the Torre or Knights Tango, isn't there any tactically positional U.S. Opening?
Play the Mexican attack, Yuri style.

If you were positionally passive i could probably help. But im not a tactically positional player so i wont be much help. Now if you were a positionally agressive player i could be of some help. Even if your were an agressively tactical player with some positional passivity i could help. But playing tactially passive isnt my forte
So, there are 4 types of openings?
- tactically tactical
- tactically positional
- positionally tactical
- positionally positional

*Sigh* He just doesn't understand...
The only thing missing from your opening repetoire it seems is psychology. You have to devise a strategy in the openings to confuse your opponent. That is normally not hard when you are confused yourself. You don't want to make the mistake of putting science into your opening play as then you would become more predictable.
