When to Exchange Pieces? | Chess Strategy

♞ Chess Course "Exchange Pieces like a Pro" by IM Asaf Givon - goo.gl/pRuvUM
Which pieces to keep and which to exchange is one of the most important questions in chess. Less experienced players often think exchanging means to swap pieces of equal value and fail to take strategic factors into account. Of course, you have to keep the material balance in mind but it is crucial to realize how exchanges affect the position.
In the course "Exchange Pieces like a Pro", IM Asaf explains how to make decisions in exchanging the pieces, how to isolate the opponent’s bad pieces and how to create weaknesses - goo.gl/pRuvUM
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In this video lesson, IM Asaf Givon analyses a thematic chess game on one of the most important themes - Piece Exchanges. He will teach when to exchange pieces, when to not exchange pieces, what are the things you should consider before making a decision about an exchange.
When your opponent is offering an exchange, you have the following options:
1. Exchange the pieces right away (accepting)
2. Exchange the pieces in YOUR own terms
3. Decline the exchange offer (by blockading or retreating your piece)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
CONCLUSIONS
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
⭐ When you have more space (advantage) on the board, strive to not exchange your pieces.
⭐ If you are forced to exchange pieces, try to do it on your own terms. Many times, it will require more patience - try to lure your opponent into an exchange that favors you (it could be opening a file or improving any of your pieces).
⭐ Always try to exchange your opponent's active pieces (if possible, with your passive/bad ones), especially if he has only one active piece, and leave him with only passive pieces.
