different ways to play the first four moves per side in a game of chess.

Now who wants to play chess?


Are you a defensive player or a all out attacker in this game?

While I don't play chess I have played a lot of strategy style games over the years.

I've always been a defensive player. I tend to concentrate on building an impenetrable fortress first, then I can beat up on the other guy at my liesure.

The problem I run into in most games is that resources are always limited. So while my castle may be invincible I'm left with nothing but a few peasants to beat on the oponents gates. At that point it depends on the game and how difficult it is to scale my resources to maintain a stronger defense and rely on 'precision' attacks. If it's to difficult I'll shift into 'blitz from the word go' mode and do all I can to ensure the enemy can't gain a solid footing early on. While that reflects a agressive stance, it's actual goal is to keep the enemy's walls from being built until I have established a lead defensively.

i am offensively defensive

I'm the guy that usually makes his opponent say " What the....???? "

I just move pieces around and hope for the best....lol

During chess, after choosing the opening sequence that I am most familiar with, then I aim to inflict torment harass anger and otherwise mess up my opponent's ability to have a strategy.

It's guerilla warfare until the opponent is so bloodied and handicapped that I can ruin their desire to play me again...even if I lose.

Thats my way of playing but of course I lose all the time too

We call that "Slop like a pro"

:P
