Interactive lesson: The Art of Exchanging

One thing we do in almost every game is exchange pieces. So how do you identify the right ones and avoid the wrong ones? That’s what you’ll be learning in this interactive lesson!

Date: May 10 - 15:00 UTC (UTC)

GM Gabuzyan Hovhannes

Below 2300 level (online), many players have an instinct to simplify the position.

As a result, they exchange pieces without paying attention to what it’s costing them.

Stronger players know how to profit from this. They know the value of making the right exchanges. They know how to create problems for their opponent by trading the right pieces at the right time. That’s precisely what you’re going to learn through this interactive lesson!

You’ll discover:

How you can identify which pieces to exchange and which to avoid?
How you can use exchanges to your advantage in different practical situations like attacking, defending, when one side has a weak square.
The role of exchanges when you’re Winning a Winning Position (WWP), Saving a Lost Position (SLP).
