Piece Theroy 3

Everyone knows that knights are worth less than rooks. But if you fork the king and rook or queen and rook, and capture rook, it dosen't always give you an egde. Especailly if your knight is key in hold your pawn fort and control in the center. What do you think?

there was a pawn at d4 it was taken by black the knight fled and black has total control

A general rule of thumb is that:

1. A knight is good in the opening, and doubles its worth when it gets past the 6th rank
2. rooks are good in the endgame, and sometimes middlegame

so using these, you figure the advantadge is static, AKA longterm advantadge that shows bad in the opening and middlegame but then shines glorious in the endgame.

hope i could help :)

oh, and its kinda an exchange because that knight WILL be captured

That is one of the principles behind the traxler counter attack knight are very good in the corner.

yeah true that's what i mean

yea
