My playing style is between Basman and Bloodgood, but not with the killer instinct that Bloodgood had. More of a tame Grob player, who likes to sacrifice the other player's pieces.
What is your playing style?
Sort:
I love closed, positional games with fixed pawn structures and complicated battles about a few key files or squares, but I hate "balanced" positions, because they're either drawn or decided in the endgame. I dislike the endgame, because it's all cold calculation and no strategy. Strategic, long-term plans are what makes chess so interesting and it's something humans are better at than computers, that's why I love positional games. For blitz games, I prefer gambits with many tactical ideas and sacrifices, because it's more thrilling.
well position gives tactical opportunity. but i would consider myself more of a tactical player. im usually an attacker seeing as how i always end up hanging myself up positionally when i play defensive.
but of course im always looking for the best and most forcing move regardless!
I am an oppurtunist player. I play conservative till i see a mistake I can aggressivly exploit.

I throw the kitchen sink at my opponent, it usually comes bouncing back and knocks all my teeth out....

Closed, positional games as Black. Open, tactical games as White. Perhaps that's why I'm doing much better as Black!
I generally like aggressive, pawn storming games. To me those are most exciting, but also I can play positional and defensive when I have to, but where's the fun in that :P.
tactical

not the type of playing style one would hope for 
i like to sacrifice and make attacks, although it rarely works for me. i love to play the king's gambit, but since nobody ever responds e4 with e5 anymore, i sometimes play 1. f4 because it always gives 'em a surprise and can easily transpose to kings gambit if they play e5 in hopes of Qh4+. :)
As White:
First move 1. e4 usually . . . Against e5 i play kings gambit, against c5 i play morra gambit :) ... love gambits
As Black
Against d4, i play f5 (dutch) or Kings indian and against e4 i play a mixture, sometimes Alekhines, sometimes sicilian, sometimes caro-kann
Aggressive/Tactical/Combo Player.
When I'm playing my best I try to wipe my opponent out and destroy him.

Aggressive without the benefit of the experience to make me anything more than reckless.
Same
i would label my style as "accident prone with a tendacy to humiliate myself".
