WALKINGLOSS

I don't really know what my play style is yet, but I aim to be more of an attacking, tactical player rather than a solid, positional player, though both are cool.

I’m more of a hang all your pieces and resign type player.

I tend to use a "Matador's Cloak" style, in which I tempt my opponent to attack me, defend accurately while drawing him deeper into my position, then wreck him with a counter-attack which his pieces are now too far out of position to counter.

I'm in my 60s, and nearly blind.

Playing chess is a bigger strain on me since my eyesight started to fail.

I've tried multiple styles, but the ones most I most frequently switch between are

  • solid positional play
  • crumbling under pressure

usually aggresive 

AunTheKnight

Blundering! I mean...creative positional sacrifices.

My style is just to try to play the best moves in any position. [works pretty well]

assassin3752

attacking or aggresive

DasBurner

inconsistent but deadly attacker, half the time i can checkmate within thirty moves and others i end up getting all my material taken with no attack.

That's what I think I play like right now: either I annihilate my opponent's army in a brief attack or get my back ranked cleaned

I’ve switched from an attacking player to positional and accurate play. 

Either way, I think an attacking style should be foremost learn because check mate is the ultimate goal and just more fun.

My chess coach says that I'm more of a positional chess player

Based on what other people tell me, you shouldn't aim to have a specific play style. You should let it develop naturally.

Right now it’s simply to play faster and not get mated. Flag or mate my opponent. Practical over perfect moves. I played 17 blitz games today at 5 0. In some games I only used one minute, others 2-3 minutes. 

I’m doing this to prepare for club play when the coffee house opens. We were not allowed to play chess inside because of COVID. All the other guys could play faster than me. Well, that’s not happening when I see them again. 😎
