Hi there in his nature, we have a position which actually is from the King's Indian defense for --'s
attack and here it's blats play and there's a theoretical move which most players make use of, and
it helps relieve the space disadvantage of the position and making sure this doesn't end up as a kind
of bad piece.
The move is Bishop G4.
So the bishop doesn't actually mind, even though the bishop theoretically is slightly greater value
than a knight, it doesn't actually mind.
And in this particular circumstance of quite usually exchanging off on air free, it's ready to exchange
off on air free.
So, for example, after 1987, that bishop is ready and waiting here for the move, agreed to just
exchange off.
And actually, in doing so, it helps black intensify the pressure on the dance class as well.
So there are broader considerations to do with the position overall.
If we contrast this to a long theoretical move here, which doesn't involve swapping off the lights,
choir bishop say might be the seventh.
Here is an example where Black could actually get a very, very cramped position and the cramp is not
helped by this ASX.
Why is stopping B five here?
Because of attacks?
B, this is a classic mechanism with that pend --.
So we can't catch hag's, we lose the rock.
So blacks are pretty crammed state here, so say queen C7.
And whereas this bishop actually going if we move it to be seven, why in this particular position could
potentially build up quite nicely for the move A5.
So we're left with this kind of not so brilliant bishop and you know, so sometimes it's better to prepare
in advance which piece you really do need to exchange off, which is not going to be harmonious with
the power structure later so we can build up and even play E5 and just has a brilliant position because
we really are under pressure, a lot of our pieces now on the back row.
So this is quite a passive position, all because we didn't want to kind of volunteer that Bishop exchange
earlier, so why weren't significantly better?
So most players of this particular opening play move like Bishop G for around here, and they don't
mind taking off on Afri.
So you can see that the position is actually far more better for black in terms of peace activity.
So, for example, Queeny five, and this is actually a game of John, none with the black pieces against
Kosal.
And, you know, he got to play B5 and then this move might be six.
And he had a great game after he went on to win it.
So it's like a night and day difference.
Sometimes when you have a certain peace exchange, you're looking to avoid a bad piece later on.
You know that harmony between your pawns and your pieces.
Sometimes you're trying to intensify, especially with a bishop exchange.
It's the other color of the bishop.
You're trying to intensify pressure on that set of squares on the other color, like the dark squares.
So there are various very advanced considerations to do of exchanging pieces to be aware of.
And when you're in cramped situations, you don't want to end up with a bad piece, which really has
limited scope, so being able to exchange off those earlier is often a great idea.
So that is actually, in this example, a very fair ethical move, a very theoretical idea within this
so-called fourpence attack.
I'll just tell you back from the stars who are aware of this.
So this is an opening sequence called the King's Indian Defense.
And, you know, black volunteers, whites have a very, very broad center of -- and, you know,
potentially is a cramped position.
And actually, ESX is the prelude in this particular game.
But now Bishop G4, so be aware that in certain openings, the more you're effective in planers opening
sometimes as part of the actual opening ferry, you'll find now that you do need to exchange off certain
pieces to guarantee a certain level of harmony between your pieces and --'s to avoid a bad piece,
sometimes to exert pressure on a certain set of squares of a certain color, especially if you're trading
off a bishop for a knight, which usually under the material, you know, count system, it's like you're
using your you're investing half a unit.
If a bishops worth four and a half and you're giving up for a night.
Isn't that silly?
Sometimes it's not.
So it has other advantages.
But in the particular motive that you're potentially in a cramped, unharmonious, bad piece kind of
situation, you know, one important piece exchanged minor peace exchange could make a huge difference
to the livelihood of your position.
So that's definitely something to factor in when you exchange pieces.
You want to exchange with this kind of these deeper considerations, you know, about the position.
So pawn structure and peace, harmony, not having a bad peace, having active plans later.
You know that all factors in these are much more advance considerations for exchanging pieces.
But definitely generally space, extra space has a responsibility with it as well.
Sometimes you can actually exchange pieces when your you have less space than opponent and expose underlying
weaknesses in the opponent's position.
With space comes a responsibility.
So generally the player in the more cramped position wants to exchange pieces and show up those weaknesses
of the opponent's position.
And when you have more space, generally, you want to keep the pieces on and use them to do something
great, like a king attack to capitalize on that extra space.
So space has a responsibility.
It's like maybe if you have a bigger house, you have to clean up the rooms more frequently, whatever.
So space does carry with it a responsibility.
And when you have pieces exchanged off, it's like the scope for actually covering all those potential
weaknesses.
It sometimes becomes harder.
So just bear that in mind that you don't want to end up if you're the person with the space, you don't
want to end up with a load of weaknesses because your opponent is simplified and exposed weaknesses.
And when you're low in space, you want to trade off particularly crucially bad, potentially bad pieces
to make sure you can try and exploit weaknesses in the opponent's position.
OK, and so much.
