would you agree that to win, you rely on the opponents mistakes? that if you just wait, and maintain your pieces, that without making crazy calculations and complicated attacks that you can out-maneuver and outplay our opponent until he messes up so that you win?

Originally posted by EcstremeVenom but dont you wait for the mistake before you attack? you dont just go and try to force a mistake cuz it doesnt work
No, 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.

Karpov'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.

i 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?

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.

I`m trying to give mistaking chances for opponents (and avoiding making mistakes myself).
