Subject: Can you identify What makes a chess players personality?

Hello - I am conducting research in to the creation of computer chess
personalities and I would appreciate some opinions. Are you able to classify a
chess personality? It's not as easy as it sounds.

For the initial part of my research, I need to establish:


TYPES OF PERSONALITY
----------------------------

- what different types of personality are commonly found in the chess world e.g.
is it as simple as aggressive, hot-headed, strategic, counter attacking,
vindictive etc. etc. etc. Or are chess personalities not as clear cut as that.

- what distinctive types of playing personality are there e.g. what are the
notable playing characteristics exhibited in the likes of Kasparov's style of
play - what about the others. What player's personality was the most distinctive
and whose was the most effective?



WHAT MAKES THAT PERSONALITY
---------------------------------------

- what characteristics combine to produce these chess playing personalities?
This is more concerned with how the player plays a game and how it can be
reproduced in computer chess e.g. does the aggressive player expose highly
weighted game pieces more frequently, does the hot headed player sacrifice pawns
more readily. What are the common characteristics found in these types of
persoanlity?


Any input would be much appreciated. Do you have any specific thoughts or
theories about this? I

am lookin for feedback from the simplest to the most in depth form.

Feel free to contact me or post here.

Many thanks.

Eric.
