Ever since I started playing this game I've always been frustrated with people who seem to trade pieces whenever the opportunity presents itself, regardless if it helps them or not. Then it comes down to a pawn game. Is there a way to put these type of players in their place?
It sickens me how much trading can and does(for me) take away from the game.
Are my pieces that much better than everyone else's? (of course, this is a joke)

Your still here? I thought you were leaving RHP?. Anyways, I love to trade pieces as I feel confident in the endgame. The only reason I won't trade pieces is if I'm down in material, attacking, or my piece is much better if I move it to a great square instead of just trading down.

Strong players usually trade down for strategic reasons (to gain a superior pawn structure, positional advantage, etc.), while I think weaker players tend to be materialistic and trade down because they don't understand the logic and principles of the game.
