Greets; first post so be nice. :)
I've been doing tons of reading online since I decided to 'really' play chess. I've seen many references to a 'sharp' game or a 'sharp' move, yet to definition of it's use in this context...
Can anyone help me out?

double edged, can go either way I believe
I am fairly new to chess myself, anyone back me up?

Ah, that seems like it could make sense; confirmation anyone?
|

How about "precise"?
|

Wouldn't all chess games be considered 'precise', though? I could see the other extreme, being 'sloppy/unordered', but I'd think most 'real' games would be 'precise'... but I don't know, so, thanks for the input! :D

Hello cJw314! This is a very friendly site where everyone is nice. =) For chess purposes, "sharp" is synonymous with "tactical" or even "tricky" because there are good possibilities for both sides to either make the best move or else go astray. Many variations of the Sicilian Defense are razor sharp, in that one misstep gives your opponent the advantage. Gambits such as the Two Knights Defense or Evans Gambit are also sharp by nature since you must be on your toes throughout the opening. Good luck with your games!
