I just realized this week what my true chess "Style" is. Openings are pretty book.
Middle game I build up a material, positional or both advantage.
End Game is marked by a blunder that makes the wheels fall off & then I resign.
I played 3 of the best chess games of my life this week. All against stronger opponents. I had clearly won positions & bothced the whole thing up. Doh!
I wonder if Tartakower watched me play at Books-A-Hundred.
"A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second when you believe you have an advantage, and the third... when you know you're going to lose!" - Tartakower
