i think it suxs that type of chess.
it robs any potential to learn what you could from an opponent.
yah! i won, so what. here have a medal!

When up in material, trade to simplicity.
Anyway, that principle hardly applies in the game you quoted. Force the exchanges, and you have a pawn which can't be stopped from queening.
What you are saying makes absolutely no sense.
