Logical:

         Logical player's seem to try very hard to try to understand the position they are playing from a logical perspective. They are pretty solid at all phases of the game but usually not spectacular at any. They are good at adapting to unfamiliar position's and approaching them with a fresh mind as they have no preconceptions of what type's of positions they would like to play, and instead try to find the objective best move. These players won't often try anything too unorthodox, however they also won't shy away from complications if they are necessary.
