Hello everyone. Usually all tutorials i saw tell that who has iniziative and who has attack is clearly better.Only problem is that i prefer to defend than attack.So should i change my orientation and to become an attacking player or should i go on to play defensively?
Because best defence is attack,but maybe best attack is defence.
Welcome to the club im defensive myself but it wroth (?) in chess...any other games defence is better "campers" are annyoing and OP but in chess u struggle with defence.
Let me introduce you to your chess hero, Tigran Petrosian. (Not Tigran L Petrosian, the young one, but the old world champion.)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigran_PetrosianHe would shut down his opponent defensively by crushing the life out of the position. Get a good book of his games and review them.
My Hero of Defence is Vladimir Kramnik.
Playing in positions where you feel uncomfortable will only decrease you rating and passion for chess. Play as defensively as you want but don't start playing passively.
