What is an "exchange"?

In chess, an exchange refers to the trade of pieces, usually involving giving up a rook to capture a knight or bishop. This trade is often considered unfavorable for the player losing the rook, as rooks are generally more powerful than knights or bishops due to their greater range of movement. The term "winning the exchange" refers to trading a rook for a lesser piece, like a knight or bishop, in a way that creates a material advantage. Players evaluate exchanges based on the position, piece activity, and their overall strategy, often aiming to improve their position or gain a long-term advantage through such trades.
