I don’t calculate or look several moves ahead. I play with instinct, pattern recognition and good knowledge of chess fundamentals from studying a lot years ago. I do a ton of puzzles every day. I hate opening study. I play boring openings and whacky moves to get people out of book. I was sharper and much higher rated when I played more like 5 years ago. I’ve given up on being better and just have fun. Losses no longer stress me out like they did before. What is your style?

I don't know if I have a style yet. But slow-pawn you sound like a fun opponent.

Technical_knockout. Great chess.com name and 3500 in puzzles? My highest was 28 I think. Well done

Kowarwnai I often lose or time out against positional players. If I don’t see tactics and the game is level with both sides being careful I don’t know what to do and end up making a mistake out of boredom
I try to maximize board complexity.
Keep all the pieces on the board. Create different oncoming threats at the same time.
So my opponent has to retain as much as possible in his memory and one slip can mean my breakthrough. I suppose it's like a nest of baby tarantulas slowly creeping up on their victim.
I just try to think and play like the engines, really.
So I analyze a lot, including move orders. Since a specific move in one position can be great, but bad in the next move. Even if nothing seems to have changed on the surface, there's these different levels of depth on which those do pose a difference.

That's one of the fundamental strategies of the positional player. They achieve success by 'boring' someone out / being emotionally tiring. This demands great stamina and persistence. You have to want to win irrespective of your personal feelings. Keep it up.

basically we do gay things as my friend would call my style or how i choose to play as it simply leads to drawish positions or slightly better ones where i keep grinding for something which is so small to even achieve but i do it anyways as the win could be right there
Ok

Kowarenai I like the idea of building on a small advantage and I respect your style of play. I guess I just prefer an open game with a sort of punch for punch type setting rather than grinding. I love seeing a tactic and I never see them in tight games
