Do not be over cautious about losing a rook for an inferior piece : although a rook is better than any other, except the queen, yet it does not often come into play, so as to operate, until the end of the game ; and therefore it often...
Seite 15 - Do not aim at exchanges without reason; a good player will take advantage of it, to spoil your situation, and mend his own : but when you are strongest, especially by a piece, and have not an immediate check-mate in view, then every time you exchange, your advantage increases. Again, when you have played a piece, and your adversary opposes one to you, exchange directly, for he wants to remove you : prevent him, and do not lose the move.
