The German Grandmasters Karsten Müller and Luis Engel developed a model that allows to classify players according to their playing style: The 4 Player Types model. According to Müller and Engel there are "Activists", "Pragmatists", "Theorists", and "Reflectors". Each group of players has distinctive strengths and weaknesses and knowing which type of player you are - and the opponents you play against - can be extremely helpful. Tanmay Srinath liked the model.
Are you an 'Activist', a 'Theorist', a 'Reflector' or a 'Pragmatist’, the four types of players identified by Karsten Müller and Luis Engel in their ChessBase course about player types? It might help to know, and in a review in the "New in Chess Magazine" English Grandmaster Matthew Sadler talks about the pros and cons of such a model and argues that it is useful to identify your strengths and weaknesses if you want to improve your game.
Four-time Indian women’s champion IM Padmini Rout reflects on ‘The 4 Player Types standard model’, a FritzTrainer authored by GMs Karsten Müller and Luis Engel. She writes, “This has been one of the most useful DVDs I have come across, and I recommend everyone to watch it. Know more about your strengths and weakness [and] what areas to work on”. | Photo: Amruta Mokal
