E2) The Defender Wants to
Exchange a Pair of Rooks
This actually contradicts the rule of thumb that
the defender should exchange pawns and the
attacker should exchange pieces, but nevertheless
it happens frequently. Often it is a question
of exchanging into a rook ending or a
bishop ending. With rooks on the board, opposite-coloured
bishops can still provide good
attacking chances. Without them it is often a
dead draw.
Naturally such relief operations can also
work with other combinations of material.
