Tricky:
There is something about the way a
tricky player plays that's very
disconcerting. Repeatedly they will play moves that you didn't even
consider and that just flat out look weird, to the extent that it may
become very confusing for you. They never give up, and are constantly
looking for ways to trap and attack you. These types of players are
usually very entertaining because of their resourceful and imaginative
style. They can be differentiated from calculating and attacking
players mainly by the unorthodox nature of their play.
Examples - GM Alex
Shabalov, Julian Hodgson, GM Pavel Blatny, IM Yuri Lapshun
