I know I haven't made a study in a while, and most of you guys probably don't even know I exist, but does anyone have any ideas/requests for a study I should make to help get back on track of my study-making cycle?
Also, a bonus question: Do you prefer playing solid, positional chess where you slowly wear down your opponent, or aggressive, ruthless chess that may not be the best engine line, but is bound to make your opponents panic and help you get a quick checkmating attack?
