play online chess |  Subject: overpressing
Message:
I am typically quite an aggressive chess player but I have found from playing online on playchess etc. that I sometimes press too hard and lose games this way, equally though some games will be won through this style of play.
I think I get rewarded for being aggressive in games that I win, and then go onto the next game and then press harder, and too hard! thinking I'm improving or something.
How can one still retain an aggressive streak/style but not overpress?

Nowadays I try to ask myself which is the most aggressive *but safe* move to play. Not easy.

I like to save my aggressiveness for the midgame. It's where you're required to be most creative, and there's are good odds of psyching my opponent out when they think I'm in their face.
But like tim_b says, there's a fine line between aggressiveness and greed. I recently lost a game for becoming overzealous, and undermining my opponent's attack. You just have to bear in mind that actions have consequences, and that there are two people playing for opposite agendas.
