Hi Sean. Are you interested in video ideas? Something I'd like to understand better is trading off your opponents good pieces preferably for your bad pieces. I'm aware of good and bad bishops but I presume there are many other examples. It would be helpful to see examples of good and bad pieces in different positions. I imagine this might interest advanced beginners. Often the GM will explain a position and comment that a piece is bad but not explain why. Sometimes it is obviously trapped, othertimes the reason appears more subtle. What I'd like to be able to do is look at a position and identify the good and bad pieces (if they exist). Something that helps this would be great.
Hey Mark, I made a video dedicated towards this very question. That's why I have my show called the #askachessmaster show where you ask your questions and I answer them.
When to Exchange Pieces in Chess!

I am very interested in video ideas! I will definitely attempt to make a video that would be of that topic!
