Just an interesting question for all of you guys.

What is actually your style of play?

Are you offensive or defensive?

Do you prefer open or closed games?

A lot of tention or just a solid quite game?

I'd like to here answer. Actually i don't really have a style yet, i'm playing less than a year. I think that i'm a bit defensive and solid, but it depends on the game, the opening and the other player, It's just interesting to hear your answers.

I don't really have a style but a group of weaknesses. 

There are different kinds of closed and open games that feel different, but I'd guess semi-open games since pawn centers are more fluid.  The Leningrad Dutch for example still has some central pawns still at home but has an open feel to it. 

If the tension benefits me and I can calculate that even the best line works in my favor then of course I'd like the tension.  Quiet games too can be either sterile and dull with very few winning chances or strategically rich with plenty of chances for both sides.

What I prefer and what I get are not the same thing!   

I like open lines and a lot of complexity if I am attacking.   Opposite if I am defending.   I would choose mobility over solidity, and tension over resolution pretty often.  

Your own style will develop out of your strengths and weaknesses - if you are terrible with rooks, endgame play is not going to be your strongest, so you either correct that or avoid it, just as an example.
