Turn the tables

This example is more complex because in at the start Divya have the small advantaje and Harika is trying to simplificate but in one moment this things change and Harika takes the initiative but Deshmukh made the same technique to finally made a draw.

The Berlin wall stronger than ever

The simplification is a good technique to make draw but is important to watch where make it and where not because bad exchanges can take you into a worse position, for example in the last game the first exchanges of Aleksandra was good but Rxe5 and Be6 with the queen recapture give Muzychuk some advantaje how she throw with Qc3 entering in the drawish rook endgame.

I like so much the second game because change many timme how player are defending and how are attacking, and the first game its a easy example to relieve pressure simply trading rooks and a knight.

I hope that you learn with this 3 games and you can applied this concept to make easy draws in your games when you have a hard position, i give us the rest of chapters of this serie, if you enjoy or learn with this post please give me a like to reach more people and help to the global chess education ,by.
