Good resume of behavior to keep with diffrent players. I'd suggest to draw a chart with different profiles (TeX is a very good idea) in order to keep in mind tactics ti follow at the turn. Obviusly this could be eliminated in one's game later on, but it wouldn't be bad to keep an eye on it when a player is not accoustumate with turn play.
