chess personality

Awesome.

I got this personality:

Anaconda

Anacondas may seem peaceful on the exterior, but the Anaconda is always preparing something menacing - a deep positional squeeze, typical of the big snake. Anacondas usually reject obvious and direct play, and instead prefer to build up positional pressure. They tend to be very attached to their own ideas, almost to the point of seeming like the result of the game is secondary. But don't be fooled: once an Anaconda has you in his grip, you will be very lucky to escape.

Recommended openings--->

White ---> Four Knights, Reti System

Black ---> French Defense, Caro-Kann

I got Tal the Magician

Recommended openings - 

White: Ruy Lopez (I actually play Guioco Piano/Evans Gambit)

Black: Sicilian Defense, King's Indian Defense (I actually play Open 1.e4 e5 and King's Indian Defense)

I took the test again and modified one or two answers which I was unsure about and I think I got closer to the mark this time:

Genius

Geniuses seem to decide their moves by pure divination. With little or no calculation, they decide where to put their pieces and then simply put them there. The Genius just feels the pulse of the position. His combinations are usually short, simple, but transform the game in a deadly way. The Genius doesn't seek complications and thus draws quite a few games, but rarely loses. Sometimes he seems to get bored of chess, but this is actually an illusion - he cares about it more than anything.

Jose Raul Capablanca (1888-1942) of Cuba, the third world champions, was a prototypical Genius. Preferring solid, positional play and excelling in endgames, Capablanca had a simple, clear style and chose his moves largely by intuition. Capablanca was so hard to beat that he only lost 34 serious games as an adult and was undefeated from 1916 until 1924. Genius!

Recommended Openings

• White: Ruy Lopez (Spanish)
• Black: Ruy Lopez (Spanish); Queen's Gambit Declined (Orthodox Defense)

I also play the King's Indian Defense as Black but in a positional way.

The other opening I play is the Semi-Slav Meran Variation against d4.

It's amazing that when Capablanca was asked how many moves ahead he could see he said 'One' He played purely by position and observed squares and pieces and not sequence of moves.

Don't Change your answers or else you can't determine what type of training do you need.

My results are as follows:

1. Surgeon-Lasker
2. Mastermind -Alekhine
3. Assasin-Fischer
4. Grinder-Karpov
5. Escape artist-Korchnoi
6. Champion-Kasparov
7. Proffesional-Botvinnik
8. Technician-Kramnik
9. Natural-Anand
10. Prodigy-Carlsen
11. Anaconda-Nimzowitsch
12. Genius-Capablanca

Champion

I got patzer. 

First of all, Kasparov,Fischer,Anand and Alekhine were positional players.if they were attackers they wouldnt have won.and if kasparov is emotional he wouldnt have defended his title until 1986.And if anand is attacking he wouldnt have came up a great way

I'm a Romantic like Vassily Ivanchuck! :D

it seems i am a patzered down version of nakamura(barbarian,lol)

I prefer a chaotic type personality chessplayer ( Master of Disaster ) !!!

You realize it's not a really serious quiz, but for the wrong reasons :p

I took the quiz again and modified two answers based on two considerations. Firstly, in the first question I hadn't noticed that the bishop was pinned to the king and the king was in the center and there was a knight getting to f5. These mean a very strong attack. I had just noticed the 'solidity' of Black's position and said that I would play black. But of course I don't want to defend against an attack like that with the king in the center and no prospect for me to attack the king.

I then changed that answer about taking on g5 because I realized that not only was a bishop getting to g5 to pin the defending knight but also a rook could swing to g3 or h3. So I changed that answer as well. I maintained my responses about piece placement over calculation and I got 

Romantic

Like Vassily Ivanchuk

Basically the verdict seems to be that I am intuitive as opposed to calculating in all cases.

The way they ask, there is no right and wrong answer... which is good because it's a personality test.

The first position is book, it's equal chances.

Another Ivanchuk over here. Romantic on and off the board  

Magician.

I was just looking at this thing again today.

I noticed at the end, they put 'aggressive' and 'solid' as opposites.

Does this make sense? Does playing aggressively mean you are not playing solidly or is the definition of solid different than it may seem?
