In the middlegame, seize the open files and command them with your Rs. Logical Chess
17 Nd2
17... Rxe4?
Trading pieces lessens an attack and helps the defense. Elements of Positional Evaluation
If both sides occupy the same open file, then neither should exchange R's but should leave the exchange to the opponent so that the recapturing R or Q commands the open file. The Game of Chess
[17... Nf6 18 Rxe8 Rxe8 19 Ne4 Ng4 20 f3 Rxe4 21 fxe4 Bxg3]
If the opponent is tied up, but your immdiate threats aren't sufficient to win, bring another piece or pawn into the attack, or improve your position in other ways; then exchange into a favorable endgame. Better Chess for Average Players

Do not exchange when your opponent can develop, when you are down in material, and when you are attacking.

ReplyDeleteOn 17... Rex4
The most practical move is 17... f5 for development and tempo.

ReplyDeleteOn 17... Rxe4
Why excahnge the R? Black is already winning on 17... Nf6 - attacking the opponent's R with a gain of tempo.
