Knowing when and why to trade pieces is one of the main strategic and positional aspects of chess.
Understanding whether or not a piece trade benefits you is crucial for initiating a plan of actually trading something. I believe (as in almost any part of chess) that pattern recognition will help you improve! That is why analyzing games and looking for weak or strong pieces and finding solutions for trading them off or amplifying their strength is what you should be doing in your training sessions.
To start off with, I would like to recommend a childish strategy I use during games (which I’ve picked up from the great Yasser Seirawan). Talk to your pieces! Ask them if they are good or bad, ask them if the square they’re on is the optimal square. It might seem redundant, but you’d be surprised how many opportunities to improve a piece or to trade a bad piece you miss simply because you don’t think analytically. Think about your pieces and the ideas will come to you.
Now, following through with your ideal idea and completing your plan to trade off a bad piece or not allow your opponent to trade one of his is difficult to do during a real game.
I have used several different examples to show you the most common “bad pieces” which should be traded. There are far more examples out there and you should think of them yourself, find them yourself and resolve them yourself.
Once again, take any number of random games, put them on move 20, and look for bad or strong pieces. Ask your self the following questions:
1. Why is this piece bad?
2. How is its counterpart? (if you’re considering a knight, then how is the opponent’s knight)
3. Would it be better somewhere else or should I trade it off?
4. What are the upsides and downsides of trading the piece; which squares or pieces are left unprotected, is my king less or more safe etc.?
5. How do I trade it off, and am I the only one who decides about the trade?
6. Can your opponent stop you and how?

For a "low rated player" you have an extremely lucid way to view chess and explain it ! really good videos!
These are very useful to me. Now the board does not look like just a random collection of pieces. I like how you use the real games, not just fake puzzles. The Fisher game was fascinating: "Always do X, unless you are Bobby Fisher and do not-X" :) But you made clear that he had a reason to break the general rule.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah. I didn't want to use puzzles for the examples. Glad it helped:)
I am glad I found your channel. Really looking forward to watch your videos. and your thumbnails are piece of art. very attractive.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm happy to hear that you look forward to my videos. And I', glad you like the thumbnails! Cheers!
Hey there, I am a returning player after some years of inactivity, and I found that in playing again, I really suffered the lack of a plan, or of more far-sighted evaluations about positions, or which pieces matter most to me (aside from obvious stuck pieces), so thank you very much for your videos (especially this series on mid-game: the openings and endgame are pretty much scripted, the middle game isn't!). Keep it going :)
Piece Trading explained in very good way. Thumbs Up for You Sir . Plz keep it up.
Thanks Naveed:)
Great video ! I loved the examples from the openings and from game six Fisher vs. Spasski :)

An excellent lesson. Well chosen examples with clear explanation. Wonderful chess instruction. Thank you.
No problem, Sir! Pleasure as always!
Could you also play with lower rated players with live commentary and show us their mistakes. Beginners like me learn a lot from them.
I plan to do that more often. I will put those games under the Training games playlist:) Thanks for the advice
That would be a great help!
You could look up gothamchess he also makes great commentary videos
@@HangingPawns why only beginners
U can also do that with little bit advanced players or intermediate players
@@thechessideas1483 Mistakes are what you learn the most from. Advanced players don't make as many.

Make a video in full depth
At 14:42 If White plays Bg5, then Black can win a pawn via Nxd5, Bxe7 then Nxe7
After Nxd5 Nxd5 Bxg5 Black still wins a pawn but White has an extremely strong Knight on d5 which will be near impossible to remove.
At 14.20, going along that rationale, is there a specific reason for white to play Bg2 instead of Bh3 to force a trade of its bad light square bishop? Or is it just that the knight would be poorly placed on h3?
Fifty years of age. And I’ve said for the last year. The Vikings should trade JJ you have TWO reliable, potential pro bowl receivers. A very good Running back situations and a really good tight end what JJ could fetch you on the trade market will help round off your team. You
( the Vikings) won’t go any go any further as currently constituted with only ONE FOOTBALL. All emotions aside.
I have never closed the pron that fast…..
when are you going to start the semi slav
Great video
Thank you!
@@HangingPawns sir could you make a video on karo cann just explaining some variations. Its very selfish of me to ask but. Plsssss
@@saubhagyasingh4655 I have made a whole series:D You can find it on the channel! ua-cam.com/video/Jiz7KLKjLas/v-deo.html
@@HangingPawns oh
Thank you😀😀😀
At 20:52 why not dxe4?
So you should trade it off when its that bad that yoh don't have time to improve it ?
Can you tell me the method in easy way please
What software do you use to record videos?
OBS. I think it's the most common screen recorder
Hanging Pawns, I have OBS free version but is there a paid version to access more features? Or am I blind?
@@williamodom6479 I'm not sure there is. I'm just using the opensource one
@@williamodom6479 There is no paid version. If you need more features, consider a different software. OBS is good in general but something like streamlabs obs is good if you're trying to stream. Other software may be good if you're trying to just record.
20:42 that is such an inhumane move
I will be waiting for your reply
Not interdivision though
Thanks Elon musk but you have gave many middlegame ideas when i practically play a chess game on lichess.com i always struggle to apply what i have learnt so can you create a video on how to apply middlegame ideas in a practical game
You should practice applying this. Play a game against a human or computer with unlimited or 30 minutes. Make a piece of paper with these concepts and try to apply them in the game
I would recommend analyzing ur games after (as well as master games) too with more time to try to find the best way to apply those principles
Beginner advice: try not to trade fianchettoed bishop.
I wanted to share this with you.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He died on the cross and rose again 3 days later to defeat sin and death. Because of our sins, we are guilty before God and when we die we will be sentenced to eternal hell when God judges us. Yet, if you ask God to forgive you and put your faith in Jesus you will be saved and have eternal life. God loved you that much that He gave His only Son to give you life. Ask God to forgive you of your sins and put your faith in Jesus so that you may have eternal life. Don’t follow your evil desires but follow what God says He has the best in mind for your life. He created you with a purpose. God is good and offers us forgiveness of our sins and eternal life through Jesus even though we don’t deserve it. Give your life to Jesus and put your faith in HIM. He is coming back to earth soon to get His people. I hope it will give you peace to know that Jesus offers you eternal security. If you give Him your life He will never leave and will give you His peace. This is what He told His disciples in John 14:27. “ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
Римлянам 6:23 (ESV): 23 Ибо возмездие за грех - смерть, а дар Божий - жизнь вечная во Христе Иисусе, Господе нашем.
Я хотел поделиться этим с вами, потому что я забочусь о вас. Иоанна 3:16 (NKJV): 16 «Ибо так возлюбил Бог мир, что отдал Сына Своего Единородного, дабы всякий, верующий в Него, не погиб, но имел жизнь вечную». Иисус - единородный Сын Божий. Он умер на кресте и воскрес через 3 дня, чтобы победить грех и смерть. Из-за наших грехов мы виновны перед Богом, и когда мы умрем, мы будем приговорены к вечному аду, когда Бог судит нас.
Тем не менее, если вы попросите Бога простить вас и поверите в Иисуса, вы будете спасены и получите жизнь вечную. Бог возлюбил вас так сильно, что отдал Своего Единственного Сына, чтобы дать вам жизнь. Просите Бога простить вас и поверить в Иисуса, чтобы вы могли иметь жизнь вечную. Бог добр и предлагает нам прощение наших грехов и вечную жизнь через Иисуса, даже если мы этого не заслуживаем. Отдай свою жизнь Иисусу и поверь в ЕГО.
Он скоро вернется на землю, чтобы забрать Свой народ. Я надеюсь, что знание того, что Иисус предлагает вам вечную безопасность, принесет вам мир. Если вы отдадите Ему свою жизнь, Он никогда не уйдет и даст вам Свой мир. Это то, что Он сказал Своим ученикам в Иоанна 14:27. «Мир оставляю тебе; мой мир я даю вам. Я даю вам не то, что дает мир. Да не тревожатся сердца ваши и не бойтесь ». Иоанна 14:27
