Which is more important- attack or defense? In present day chess, this question is extremely topical, and every chess player tackles it own way. Impetuous and inexperienced players are usually keen on clinching the issue by a direct attack. Lures by the luster of combinations, they persistently look for beautiful and unexpected tactical blows. Most experienced chess players prefer strongly protected formations capable of repelling any attack.
Chess fans know that the attacking, or so called romantic style, was predominant in 19th century. At that time, intricate methods of defense were non-existent. If your opponent scarified q pawn or a piece, you were supposed to accept the sacrifices and fight back afterward. It is only close of the century, philosophers formulated the greatest technique of defense.

I don’t think that one has to get into a mind-set to choose between either attack or defense. It depends on the playing style of our opponent. We need to think, which one for this game. But it is a fact that good and experienced players prefer strongly protected formations that are capable of repelling any attack.
