Not always.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenomNo, I always try to take the initiative, whether the opponent makes mistakes or not. The game I showed is an example where I didn't have the initiative, defended, and basically waited for him to make an error that I could take advantage of - but it never came, neither of us blundered.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenomKarpov's defensive style is a lot like this I think. He pretty much lays low and pounces on any weaknesses he spots in his opponent's game. Not a lot of people are fans of this style, but it worked for him for at least a decade.

Originally posted by UndeadNightOrci like it though, its not hectic and fast pace, which means less mistakes

i missed a checkmate late in the game because i was running out of time and rushing, and the game is probably not perfect but i just waited for the opponent to make mistakes. what do you think?

Originally posted by cmsMasternobody is perfect; with that said i can make a mistake also 😕 lol so i try to let them make the first mistake
Sounds about right...but it's risky actually, what if that player does the same thing? Or what if they don't make a mistake - you'll find yourself in an unpleasant position against a low rated player.
