I've played many games in which I've had the opportunity to take the opponents rook in exchange for both a bishop and a knight. I always struggle to conclude whether it would be a good or a poor decision. What do you guys think? Is it a good trade or the opposite?
Should you trade a Bishop and a Knight for a Rook?
Sort:
it is because it is 2 for 1 and how do you get both at the same time
Well if the you are losing both it means that the enemy eats first. So a move before the enemy eats you ened to decide whether you want to make the 2 for 1 trade.
Yes and no while you take a powerful piece worth 5 points you lose 2 mediocre pieces worth 3 points each

it really depends, but i would usually say it isnt worth it. A knight and bishop are usually worth holding on to. There is a reasaon two minor peices=6 and a rook =5. 6>5
Try this Puzzle! 
Honestly, I've tried it before, and I can say that trading that many of the more powerful pieces for one more individually powerful piece isn't very useful--especially at the start of the game. You're outnumbered, and have fewer pieces to attack/defend with.

Well there are many factors to look at it. What color squares are the bishops? what point of the game is it? Whats the opponents position?
Same/opposite color bishops can come into extremely useful or difficult end games. If the game is end game and your last pieces are knight plus bishop versus 1 rook. Then trade in hopes of a draw if youre losing. IF early game. Trade it. No question about it, it will hinder your opponents mid and late game substantialy. If your opponent is castled Then trade the pieces. Not only are you getting a rook but it forces open the castled side, giving you squares for attack.
Bro, THIS IS SO OLD THAT I CANT EVEN PROCESS THIS
