CHAMPION

Those who are defined by this style are great fighters who play for the attack, but do not like to take undue risks.

They are emotional players who use those emotions to increase the intensity of the game, both for themselves and their opponents.

Deep, deeper calculations that get to the heart of the position are his forte. They are universal players, and they won't go crazy looking for a win if it just isn't there.

They are quite willing to play a quiet ending if that is what the position demands.

Recommended Openings:

White: Ruy López, Queen's Gambit

Black: Sicilian Defense

Example:

Garry Kasparov (born 1963), 13th world champion, typifies the chess style of a true champion. A tireless worker, he brought opening preparation to a new level, often analyzing openings deeply in the middlegame.

Kasparov had a unique understanding of the dynamics of the game and frequently showed that seemingly surprising positional sacrifices were correct.

From 1986 until his retirement in 2005, he was almost always the highest-rated player in the world, and he held the world championship title from 1985 to 2000, so it is not surprising that his style was that of Champion.
