Seems like I'm pretty much in the middle. In chess terms:
Attacking =+ Positional
Aggressive = Solid
Intuitive += Calculating
Emotional = Calm
Which is a Technician, Genius or Grinder depending on my mood. Kramnik, Capa and Karpov are indeed my role models.

A clever fool
I'M A PRODIGY. Same as Isaiah.
I am an escape artist
Houdini perhaps?
Escape Artists like quiet, positional play, but somehow seem to end up in tense, nerve-wracking, and sharp struggles. Why does this happen? Because the Escape Artist, by threatening to grind his opponent down in quiet, positional ways, forces his opponent to counterattack, sacrifice, and take risks. The Escape Artist often doesn't prevent his opponent's attack, but actually welcomes it and entices it. Then the complications and danger begin, and the Escape Artist's phenomenal calculating power comes to the forefront.

Grinder
Grinders are players with an unassuming style that can hide just how intent they are on winning. They don’t need to know opening theory to beat you. They don’t need to have an advantage to beat you. They don’t even need to have an equal position to beat you. Grinders have good positional skills, and are usually most at home in endgames. They are attuned to their opponents’ weaknesses which they use against them. On the other hand, they often know their own strengths and limitations pretty objectively, and will make good practical decisions. It’s hard to take advantage of a Grinder’s weaknesses, and you won’t have much luck getting errors out of them by applying pressure.

Pretty accurate though
Mastermind
Mastermind
Masterminds seek to master both their own emotions and to impose their reality on the chessboard. A Mastermind always seeks the right move, and believes that attacking is the right way. Typically choosing sharp openings, Masterminds win with fantastically deep calculations, producing combinations which are deeply hidden in correctly built-up positions. Masterminds thrive in complicated positions, where their accurate calculating ability and iron nerves give them the advantage.
