which players you find harder to face. Aggressive or Positional

I took my popcorn early to read this, but heck you are right, in reality some people are just *****.

I usually lose the games where people like to open everything up and trade pwns and pieces and then attack...this is mostly because i like to lock it up to my advantage and push everything i got into their territory so that they cant move...but in equal endgames i tend to win

I just realised that I have yet to reply to the topic. I don't really find either mentality more difficult to face. I generally play fairly aggressively myself, so if I'm playing a tactical player (someone around my level of course; our great Russian friend here, Boris Anatoly Botvinnik-Kasparov himself would crush my poor peasant self) my games often become quite complex, and it seems that sometimes it is I who makes the fatal mistake, sometimes my opponent. Against a more positional opponent... again, it's 50/50, but I have noticed over the last few months that my positional play is improving, and in closed positions it is often I who is doing the squeezing.

I put this down to the fact that most players begin learning tactics, and don't develop the positional aspects of their play as much. Now that I'm doing that too, I'm starting to get the upper hand in closed positions, but not necessarily against players who strive to play a positional game.

yea, thank you. It belongs to one of my Expertises to throw around with Methaphores and maybe Synestehsia, but at any rate metaphores.
I am also good at Cryptic poetry, Quotes & Phrases, not so much at rhyming.
I also like Interpunction..

But I do do so much strain for that  and InterPunction and my Perfectionism anymore, although I like.

That's because the Strain does not pays off for the Reward, which is nothing to Nihil.

I have possibly made over 100 Incredible Topics, Threads, posts and Replies.
and Time spent at 3 and a half hour or more was not Rare.
It's just that people don't like me, and they don't like that I say this while my Grammar and Sentence structure isn't always that good.

I have Saved lots of Text at Word, hoping that ever someone would look at Word and likes my things, so that I still could get some Acknowledge.
Now our default Computer is in Reparation, and I might have deleted some Word texts.
However we still have our old Computer, working below.

Anyway, I am straying off.
I have this unstudied Talent and I don't gained enough for it.
I dunno what to say anymore and how I can prove this and that, and what happened in the Past around Sports (....)
how not to seem like arrogant when talking about my Talents and Qualitities, and how people have more easy the ability to capitalize on my disqualities, and more...

It is kluwen in my head. 
to clarify the kluwen, y:xx will walk further and further away.  

Yeah, they are very different. I prefer long games; they are better for your development, and my rating in online games is faaaaar higher than my rating in blitz. It's too easy to make stupid mistakes playing blitz or bullet :P

dont get banned

I didnt mean you while I was typing that you must have already posted that.

Wrong! All the ratings on chess.com are inflated; both online and blitz/bullet. It's far higher because I play better when I have more time to think.

And AnthonyCG, I don't think chessmaster was talking to you :) He was probably talking to AcivilizedGentleman, whose username is quickly becoming increasingly ironic!

EDIT: Beaten to it!

strike 2

Strike 2 indeed! I wouldn't mind as much if I had claimed to be a talented player and not someone who is still learning, but I already admitted that I'm learning, and yet *I* am the delusional one? The poor fellow has a serious case of ironic-itis, boasting about his 1900 rating on chess.com, which probably equates to around 1500 FIDE; not to mention his online chess rating is 500 points lower than mine!

Anyways, I won't be drawn into childish games by an egotist.

Meh. You were amusing at first, but now you're becoming somewhat boring. You better come up with some good new comments for me to laugh at, or I'm untracking.

Finally! I apologise to whoever started this thread; I didn't mean to feed the troll, I was just irked when he started to throw his ego around.

Back on topic, I would tend to agree with paulgottlieb (kudos, if that's a reference to Nipkow, by the way); caluclation is crucial in endgames, as the margin for error becomes minute. I've ordered a copy of Jeremy Silman's Complete Endgame Course with a view to improving my endgames :)

cya definitely dont wanna be ya

Did you mean "synesthetic'?

Yes, I did! Thank you for pointing out the typo :P That'll teach me to shun sleep in favour of posting on the chess.com forums, haha.

Any particular reasons? I don't play it often myself, but it is a good opening to learn from.

theres a few people who complement me for never having beatn me and they think I'm to positionally sound of a player to be honest all 3 are only between 1350-1520 so I think just by how much higher rated than them I am might be the reason I have a plus score against a CM and he's aggressive in almost all the games weve played againt each other.

@feyhu, that's cool. It's important to realise which openings and which kinds of positions suit your style. I used to play the KIA too, but I prefer more open games, so I prefer the King's Gambit when my opponent plays 1...e5 to my 1.e4, though I also play the Scotch and I do occasionally play the Ruy Lopez.

im not even a e4 player but I just love the Scoth Game which is why I play in theametics that feature it and its the reason I dont meet e4 with ...e5 haha.
