"..the accrument of small advantages is the death of the soul of chess."

(boring entry on Chess followssmile

The most brilliant attackers in all of Russian chess - Tal, Symlsov, Spassky - all agreed that the hardest person to play against was former Champion Tigran Petrosian, a positional player, one who accrued small advantages and killed you slowly.

I'm torn. My best friend is a fucking amazing attacker, which I think pretty much accounts for me being a positional player. I can't match the attack and gain the initiative, so I learned to defend and to play defensively in such a way to allow for transposition or to allow for countr-attack later in the middle game, or just to trade down the major pieces and win in the end game.

But I'm losing and losing bad these days. Every game I play I'm getting beat. I was playing at a 1650 level recently and right now I'm getting beat by 1200s. It's no fun to work on some shit for months on end and see vast progress continually and then suddenly wonder where it all went. No fun at all. It's like playing music the same you always played it, but for some reason, it's just not sounding any good to you anymore... and you don't know why.

I'm thinking it's time to adjust the play and transpose from a positional, closed-game player to the open game.



Question:

Should I change, or chalk this up to a drought, and stick with it?

Some of them did go into limbo in 02'. Thats when they first were accepted as SG's. Then they had their 1st sets go up, which means they were out of limbo then.
