Master the art of the exchange technique in chess

A few days ago, our guest coach GM Levan Aroshidze prepared a lesson for you about the “Exchange Technique” in chess. If you missed it, you can watch it now here.
Today, we’ll be continuing with the second part of the lesson. Before that, you need to understand the philosophy of the exchange technique clearly.

The exchange technique is not a simple TRADING of pieces. It occurs where you EXCHANGE the good pieces of your opponent, thereby leaving him with the bad ones.

LEARN THE EXCHANGE TECHNIQUE IN CHESS

A few weeks ago, our guest coach GM Levan Aroshidze prepared an instructive video lesson for you – it is “Piece coordination and maneuvering in chess” (LINK). In that lesson, you would have learnt about how to use your pieces effectively, how to convert your weakest piece into a better one and lots more.
As the game moves on, some pieces will get exchanged – certainly, the game will not come to an end if none of the pieces is traded, unless if the king gets trapped and checkmated. :)

In most cases, it is better to maintain the tension rather than accept the offer of exchanging pieces.

I thought that you could get yourself ready to watch this instructive video lesson by analyzing the position below:

White has just played the move Rc3, offering an exchange of rooks. What do you think Black should play here? After calculating all possible variations, you may watch the video lesson and check the answer.
Spoiler alert: Something new is coming soon, so keep calm and stay tuned! :)

MY LIVE SEMINAR IN INDIA

Today I have sudden but pleasant news: I’m going to conduct my first live seminar in India soon. :)
indiaI have a lot of friends and students from India who have asked me many times to visit their country. Finally, I’ve decided to travel to India and conduct a seminar.
This is an absolutely unique event. Although I’ve had a decent number of private students, and have being coaching through the internet for many years, I’ve never made my seminars live thus far. If you are interested in chess improvement, you now have a unique opportunity to boost your performance under my personal guidance.
