Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen den Amerikanischen und Deutschen Schachstrategien?

What are the differences between American and German chess strategies?

Lassen Sie uns die unterschiedlichen Arten besprechen.

Let us discuss the different styles.

Begnadigen Sie mein Deutsches, ich sind gerechtes Lernen.

Pardon my German, I am just learning.

Hi Exterminar

Do you really think there are so many differences? And what would be the reason for this? The mentality of the countries inhabitants?

Well then I would expect us to play very accurate and precisely ...

But - to be honest - then (according to my style) I am not a German ...

What comparisons do You expect, if I may ask?

First, thank you for answering so quickly.

I do expect differences between how a German plays and how an American plays. Mainly because of the wide range of variations to the start of a good game.

There are Italian styles, Russian styles...etcetera. But German styles are not well known in America. I would venture to say that the American style is a mixture of most european styles.

What do you think?

I do not see that these were arguments for specific German stlyles, as You suggest. Because I would not mix that with the point of mentality. It is just a personal matter of which e.g. opening one choice. And to what amount does mentality comes in there with respect of actually choosing one? Wouldn't one choose an opening according to matters of chess-rules, like tactics, strategy or - personal favours rather than properties of - say - landscapes?

What do you think?

Again, I doubt - though I judge it very interesting! - that it is matter of "countries".
First of all there were no "German openings". It might be interessting to check, what kind of opening that might be! (I'd be the first to try it! )
Most openings were named - merely by accident - according to the folksmen which used them, weren't they? So is the French Opening really a typical "French" thing?
So, why do You think, that especially the Germans does NOT have the "usual" European Openings of all kind?

Nevertheless, it is an very interesting question. Is there a conection between "passport" and chess-style?

I lke to say that maybe tehre is a connection of the chess-culture and the chess-style. For example, the Russians do play chess from a very young age and keep on doing that, while in Germany we do have "clubs" (Vereine ) but it is at Your free will, not a "must" at school, so the average German "know the rules" but do not play chess - so to say.

Maybe that is more in the direction of Your question?

By the way, do You know that link?

best regards to the anglo-american world

Spielen die Leute die in einem Verein sind, nicht auf der ganzen welt mehr oder weniger gleich. Vorallem, weil es in deutschland nicht mal eine offizielle schachschule gibt, gibt es wohl auch keinen deutschen stil. Und die deutschen Großmeister lesen doch die gleichen Bücher wie die anderen auf der welt.
