OP is a 1600 patzer, in daily to boot. Patzer got no style/style is erratic. Stop dropping pieces first and playing like an idiot all teh time, then u can think about style if u ever manage that

Luckily, you're a 1700 player.

1700's have the same style.

I was rated over 2800 under another name (Hint: it rhymes with "Cagnus Marlsen), but I'm too modest to use it on this forum

OP, "I don't know what is mine.." Your style is . . . uncertain.

"There is no such thing as a 'best opening.' Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

(IM Silman does not seem to like to use the word, “style”, in connection with these issues.)

Defining one’s chess style is a fascinating journey of self-discovery. As GM John Nunn insightfully explained, your preferences for tactical or strategic play can shape your opening repertoire and overall approach to the game. Whether you favor open, dynamic positions or the calm intricacies of closed games, identifying your comfort zone is key. If you’re exploring ways to elevate your style, why not let your wardrobe reflect your refined choices too? Check out - an online store for stock branded clothing that blends sophistication with practicality. Just like chess, your clothing can make a statement about who you are and what you value—both on and off the board. Elevate your presence, and let your moves and style speak volumes.
