I also tried to exchange pieces but it does not always work
Here is again the game that I lost at 5/40(of course I did mistakes that I do
not do at slower time control but I do not think that it is so easy to trade
pieces when you start with only knight advanatge).
I guess that the problem is evaluation of pawns.
Note that oroginally I believed that with bishop against 2 pawns I have good
chances to win but it seems that fabien is simply smarter than me because fruit
evaluate the endgame after trading rooks as equal and I did not know what to do
in the endgame and even lost.
