Positional:
Positional Players are a bit
different than technical players.
Postional players are more versatile in their opening choices and
simply rely on their general chess understanding to find the right
solution in all positions. The difference between a "positional" player
and a "technical" player is almost psychological, as the positional
player's simply don't go out of their way to avoid unfamiliar
positions, or positions in which they are being attacked. Despite all
this, positional players may be easier to face if you have a tactical
nature, as it's usually a bit easier to steer the game towards your
style.
