Welcome to my "Exchanging Pieces in Chess – Zero to Hero Training"

Exchanging pieces is something that will occur in the vast majority of chess games. Additionally, there can be not one but several exchanges in a game, that can impact a position decisively.

Would you like to know exactly when you should and when you should not exchange pieces in your games?

Welcome to my “Exchanging Pieces in Chess – Zero to Hero Training”.

My goal with this course is to help you become a better chess player by improving your understanding of exchanges. I want to guide you so that you know how to evaluate all the key elements to make better decisions during your games.

This course is for anyone who is overwhelmed by the possible exchanges that can occur throughout a game. This course will also help players who don’t know how exchanges done on one move (that don’t give a material advantage) affect the position several moves later.

In this course, you'll learn:

  • The key ideas to quickly evaluate if a piece exchange is good or not for you

  • How to quickly benefit from an exchange

  • How to use exchanges for long term advantages

  • Practical skills after working on the activities that I’ll give you

In the last part of the course, I include a section where I comment games while playing them to try to apply what we learned immediately and in a fun way.

By enrolling today, you gain lifetime access to the course, including a summary of everything that we’ll learn that will help you to evaluate exchanges in any position that you want to study.
