Assassins are all about controlled aggression. They tend to play sharp openings (especially 1.e4 as white) and look to attack the opponent's King. But their attacks are not wild or careless - everything is still governed by the objective demands of the position and exact calculation. Assassins tend to play "against the pieces" rather than "against the opponent". They won't alter their own play to try to take advantage of the opponent's psychology.

Technicians are the quietest and calmest chess players. Strategists who rarely attack directly and prefer to quietly exploit positional advantages, Technicians utilize their exceptional intuition to guide their positional play. Rarely losing control, the Technician exploits almost invisible positional weaknesses to win in the endgame. Technicians do not like to take many risks, and therefore rarely lose - but also win less than more aggressive players.

Barbarians do not mess around. They hunt the opponent's king from the beginning to the end of the game. They are attacking players who are willing to accept lots of risk, calculating complications and dangers that make their opponents squirm. Barbarians put their heart into the game - a typical Barbarian might get upset if something goes wrong in a tournament and have a disaster, or, on the other hand, ride an unstoppable wave of success when things go right. Barbarians aren't usually the type to offer draws, and their main goal is to create unusual and complicated situations on the board in which they can out-calculate their opponent.

Surgeons are tricky, practical players who use positional play to fight for a win in all positions. They don't usually gain big advantages early in the game, and sometimes even get worse positions; but the Surgeon is clever and knows how to fight. With great nerves and calculating ability, a Surgeon will uncover every hidden resource available to bring the game to a favorable conclusion.

Het grappige is dat, welke uitkomst de test ook geeft, je een positief gevoel over jezelf kunt hebben. Al de beschrijvingen zijn positief.
Een mooi voorbeeld is mijn eigen test: al de wijzertjes staan bij mij min of meer in het midden. In plaats van je een saaie sukkel te noemen zeggen ze: "champion"!

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.
Die hadden we nog niet! En volgens mij tamelijk accuraat.

Professional
Professionals are strategists who place a high value on the exactness of their game and rarely let their emotions get out of hand. Professionals like to keep things under control - they don't like to take undue risks, either by attacking their opponent or allowing themselves to be attacked. Instead, professionals like to exploit long-term weaknesses. While they deal with long-term strategic and positional factors, they don't rely on vague, intuitive judgments - for the Professional, chess is an exact, calculated science.
Michail Moisejewitsch Botwinnik is a clear example of a Professional
Er zit een homunculus achter het scherm, aan de andere kant, die ziet hoezeer ik Botwinnik bewonder, en die doet mij zo een plezier.

Grinder
Grinders are players with an unassuming style that can hide just how intent they are on winning. They dont need to know opening theory to beat you. They dont need to have an advantage to beat you. They dont even need to have an equal position to beat you. Grinders have good positional skills, and are usually most at home in endgames. They are attuned to their opponents weaknesses which they use against them. On the other hand, they often know their own strengths and limitations pretty objectively, and will make good practical decisions. Its hard to take advantage of a Grinders weaknesses, and you wont have much luck getting errors out of them by applying pressure.
Anatoly Karpov is a Grinder
Anatoly Karpov (born 1951), twelfth World Champion and superb positional player, is one of the most successful Grinders of all time. Not only did he hold the world title for 10 years, but in order to prove himself after Fischer disappeared, he played in as many tournaments as he could and amassed the most impressive win total and tournament resume of any player in history. During his prime, Karpov was famous for declining draws in worse positions, confident that he would play well enough to never lose them - all while giving his opponents ample opportunity to blow the game as they got ground down by the long game and his intense will to win!
Ik heb me nooit met Karpov geassocieerd; als het dan toch een grootmeester zou moeten zijn dan eerder Bronstein...

Now I have the pawn and the compensation.
Karpow?!
Ik heb ooit een commentaar van Derk Dekker op Upperdogs stijl gelezen. Weet je nog? Dekker beschreef een gelijkaardige stijl als wat ik in Anatoly Karpow herken.
Ik heb een boek met Karpows mooiste winstpartijen, met volop voorbeelden van zijn positionele aanpak, de 'squeeze', als van zijn tactische talent - zeker in zijn jongere jaren was Karpow een ongelooflijk tactisch talent.

Magicians are the ultimate attackers. Magicians don't care too much if their play is objectively correct - they prefer to follow their intuition and fancy, creating complications and confusing their opponent. A Magician sees chess as a creative art, and creative art cannot be held captive by stern and fixed principles. Magicians can calculate well, but they sometimes do so quickly and carelessly, using their calculation to support what their intuition tells them. Magicians enjoy the unusual and spectacular, and can often become bored by slow maneuvering.
