When to trade into a Endgame

Sort:

The most common scenario where you want to trade into a Endgame is when you are up in material. But are there any other scenarios or ways where you want a endgame?

It all depends on the position. Specifics take into account.
In general, here are some scenarios where it is more likely favorable to trade into an endgame.
2 Bishops advantage, especially against 2 knights. Just make sure the position is atleast relatively open.
Having a protected passed pawn. Again usually.
Having rooks on the 7th.
There are many examples, and so this question is kind of bad. It all depends on the position, and you need to get a feel for them.
If you have a specific position, then I would be happy to advise.
