The Art of Exchanging Pieces by CM Can Kabadayi

To Exchange, or Not to Exchange?

When confronted with the opportunity to exchange pieces, many players make disastrous mistakes with seemingly safe logic:

“Well, the knight is worth 3 and the bishop is worth 3, so let’s just trade them. It’s even.”

…or…

“My opponent wants to trade, so let’s not give them what they want. I’ll pull back the piece.”

A few moves later, they find themselves in a hopeless position that could have been prevented with the right decision at that crucial exchange moment!

If this problem plagues too many of your own games, a secret art will revolutionize your play…
