Playing passively certainly does not get you a draw at the very least, and the same can be said for playing aggressively. Your examples of why players make blunders isn't specific to aggressive players, but rather inexperienced ones. Playing styles are established after a player has a firm grasp of the understanding of the game that leads him or her NOT to "start to attack without king safety" or "playing complex positions they don't understand." | |
