Trade Secrets – The Science of Chess Exchanges

Many players misunderstand the true value of piece trades, often swapping pieces without a clear plan or missing opportunities to gain a decisive advantage. Without a deep understanding of when and why to exchange, it’s easy to weaken your position, lose attacking chances, or give your opponent unnecessary counterplay.
