Again (in case it needs to be repeated), the Dvoretsky quote was a reaction to a comment in #8 about GMs. For ThatstheTicket (who had asked, "Do these details determine a style or am I off base completely?"), I posted the GM Nunn quote in #6:
"Building a repertoire ... we will take the idealized situation of someone starting from square one ... The first step is to think about your personal style. Do you prefer open, tactical positions or closed, strategic positions? Does an attack on your king make you nervous, or are you happy so long as you have a counter-attack? Do you prefer main lines, or something slightly offbeat? Next, look at the various openings available, and see which ones fit in with your personal style. ..." - GM John Nunn (1998)
