Chess styles are diverse. Some players play aggressively from the first move, blitzing out sharp theory and trying to apply immediate pressure from the word go. Others prefer to avoid known paths, seeking to outplay their opponents on unfamiliar terrain. Some are open positions aficionados, while others prefer the long maneuverings of locked games.
