I kinda think of it like this. There’s two basic types of games and players.

Dynamic Vs. Static

A dynamic player is someone who will play for an active position at the cost of his material and long term structure. Think games of Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov and Paul Morphy.

A static player is someone who plays for a long term positional advantage, like an extra pawn, the two bishops, better pawn structure etc. Think of games of Anatoly Karpov and Tigran Petrosian.

I hope this helps you.

A great example of a dynamic game is the Danish gambit. I'll attach the first few moves of it, if fully accepted by black.

As you can see, white has an amazing positional advantage: both bishops are developed and pointing to black's king side, their queen is in prime position to advance, and there are several semi-open files to make plays on. Black, on the other hand, has gone 4 moves and all he has to show for it is a missing e-pawn. This is what we call a dynamic game.

In a discussion about this opening, my friend put it as, "this is a dynamic game where if black is allowed to develop, white loses." Now, of course, this is somewhat of an exaggeration, but white is, in fact, two pawns down in material. As Homsar puts it, it is an active position at the cost of his material. Dynamic games allow the attacker to make sharp, tactical plays at will, but he needs to stay on his toes to make sure their opponent does not restabilize his position, or else he will be down material with no positional compensation.

I know this response isn't necessarily short or neat, but I think it's important to know the advances and drawbacks of such a situation/game with detail to avoid misconceptions or generalizations.

I think you put Fischer in the wrong list. He was not a "Paul Morphy"-type player... this is a revisionist misconception. Instead, he was known as a deadly accurate positional player, who would gladly undergo an enemy attack if he could thereby win a Pawn or gain the Bishop pair. The "Fischer end-game" was defined by a superior Bishop vs Knight.

Dynamics is like a spring, ready to release the energy at once. Fianchettoes are latent dynamism, the Hedgehog is full of dynamism. Suba is the Maestro! I like his book and approach.

I believe my first response is the shortest so far. I’m awaiting my reward with bated breath.

Here‘s a game which shows the latent dynamism of „passive“ pieces (Bb7, Re8).

A dynamic game is an in-balance. So 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd 4. Nxd has the in-balance of black has both centre pawns white has one. White has a half open d-file, Black has a half-open c-file.
Some people regard a dynamic game to be material in-balance, a knight for a bishop or a rook for knight and two pawns, etc.

A dynamic position generally means an equal position where the players have many opportunities to change imbalances in reasonable ways.
