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...
