Sure, but you can choose your play style. I find I’m way more likely to win a chess game if I play a few moves of a really safe, boring opening, and then just focus on keeping everything protected and never extend myself too much until the opponent hangs their queen (I’m about 400, so that’s actually very likely).

If I get creative and come out all aggressive, I hang my queen. But the former is boring as hell, which is why I don’t play chess.
