He'll teach you to be so scary that your opponents resign before the game even has started.
It's great, I already learned something new:
"Bishops (3 points) and Knights (3 points) are equal in value, but experienced players try to capture a Bishop in return for a Knight."
And there I was thinking that it depends on the position, and that a bishop pair was usually quite desirable. Stupid me.
I found this rather surprising: "You may have heard scare stories to the effect that chess notation is inordinately difficult." But I understood it better when I saw that he uses descriptive chess notation!

Is this true? So all those players who play the Ruy Lopez Exchange variation are basically ignorant fools who can't play chess. They must read his books.
From now on I am going to move my knights again and again chasing those Bs before I do anything else. Once I have won them I will develop the rest of my pieces. Oh and I'll throw away my book on the Exchange.

Yes 😛
One of the reasons I gave up playing 1.e4 e5 as black. All the players in my club I have faced went for the exchange and the results were always a draw. Gets boring after a while.
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.0-0 ___
Now what would I play here? O yes, it was a really neat move. Has that suprise factor! It's a very solid move I might add!
