Hi

I agree with Clive that it is probably to do with how the player is approaching the game, rather than any one piece

I would expect a conservative player to play defensively and to follow well-understood lines of play

I would expect a radical player to use unexpected moves that have not been analysed before, with the intention of finding an attacking opportunity
