I hate Queen trading unless it's the absolute most accurate move

Don't get me wrong, I love a good end game but for the most part in my 10m rapids (which are usually around people in 1700+ and even a 1.9k occasionally) I see people almost always going for queen trades the moment they have the slightest pawn/position advantage. I just wish it would be a badle of sneaky checkmates most of the times instead

I mean, if I have a winning endgame I’m jus going to trade the queens and win a long 80 move game. If I keep the queens on the board, there is a bigger chance I blunder

You're practically right it's just a little pet peeves of mine haha

Well that is the perk of having a better position. You get to push the guy around by offering trades, and maybe improve your pieces.

If you are worse you just have to dodge the trades and wait for your chance. That can be fun sometimes...

I love forcing a queen trade, especially against players who seem to love their queen.

I don't care either way, but keeping the queens on the board does give me higher chances to swindle my opponent.

I trade queens because it's in my chess algorithm:

1. control center

2. if can take piece, take piece

Are we still talking about Chess, here?
