There are many occasions when an attack isn't possible and positional chess is the order of the day. This means you try to create various favorable imbalances (space, superior minor pieces, weak squares, fractured enemy pawns, etc.) and milk it for all its worth. This particular course explores the eternal question of piece trades: should you or should you not trade one minor piece for another, your Rook for his, or your all-powerful Queen for his equally imposing female deity? At times a trade allows you to get rid of an enemy defender. At other times you can create a good Bishop vs. a poor Knight or great Knight vs. a bad Bishop. And sometimes the simple act of trading one pawn for another allows you to open a file and dominate it. Whatever the case might be, mastering this important skill-set is of enormous importance!
