too aggressive?

I was playing the end game of a long fought battle and before resigning my opponent said "The thing is that you are so aggressive that it is not even fun playing with you." I'm trying to decide can one play chess to aggressively? I'm a decidedly aggressive player following the old adage the best defense is a good offense I trade for equal power and pin whenever possible. Should I try to be less aggressive? your obedient Thayne Thomas Keele

Since you didnt post the game, i have no idea what youre talking about when it it comes being "agressive"?

Post the game please.

ha!

first of all,

shame on your opp.  I love games where one sides plays insanely.  surely there's no draws when one or both players plays for checkmate no matter how crazy it gets.

secondly, I'm sure that there is a very real principle in chess that when one side launches into a premature and unprepared attack, his opponent will nearly inevitable gain an advantage.  and thats all the more reason, not to hate the game where you opponents gets crazy sacing peices for little compensation and playing for checkmate that in neither forced or inevitable.

so far as purpose goes; if you want to win more often, you should probably temper your tendency to attack and study up on how to make your attacks stronger....

I dont see what is agressive about that game.  I see some blunders, and missed opportunities.  I think what youre calling agressive, are simply smart moves.

I was just not sure what my opponent was talking about I do not want to be rude on the board

Let me commend you on your politeness.  Sadly its a rare thing now.  It wasnt that you were agressive, you just played some good moves, and took advantage of your opponents mistakes.

Hey Thaynethomas, don't give a [Edited for language - Mod.] about this what has happen... It's some kind a mistake which one moment some people done it... they just say "okay I got you..." and then what... they just don't see one of your possible moves... So it's probably quit because mainly of the queen If you know so far everything costs a point, pawn it's 1, Rook is 5, bishop and knight 3 and Queen 9... The King is priceless so far...

So to lose the queen it's kind a hard to deal with the opponent if somebody took my queen so far I can say that I lose without it... I'm not so good at all.

But I keep paying attention at this and trying to work without it... probably there is some kind of progress who knows?

 

Even when the one opponent have a queen and you don't have it... wow that's the very hard part so far I played one game with one friend I made one stupid move and what I didn't thought about the possibilities, I just paid attention at the main like what can be saw at first... but I should check it twice even and tripple so to succeed with not losing a essential piece...


I have watched and a good chess players... but one moment they just make one mistake and the opponent use that mistake at it's own advantage and what... (You know the other part!)
