I happen to agree.

I prefer to play nice open positions that still requires positional play to gain
the advantage.

Setting up a blocked position and winning on time, or waiting for a blunder is
just boring to me. Trust me, that is how I started out. I took the time to learn
some good solid openings, followed the lessons from the Chessmaster series and
"went to work"....

Every so often I get in a doozy of a game and whether I lose it or not, there is
_always_ something I can learn from each game. This to me is the main reason I
play. To _learn_.

With that said, Ed is doing nothing new. In every sport, one team/person takes
advantage of it's opponents weaknesses to win. Whether it be a weak right
fielder, shody goaltending, or a aweful backhand, someone's weaknesses are
always exploited to gain a win. It's not attractive, but it works.
