Okay, best of luck. However, without a solid understanding of some different opening lines you may eventually plateau. Without opening theory, I might be able to achieve 1800. But to get 2000+ I think knowledge of several openings will be necessary. That takes a major time commitment which I'm unable to give right now.

Black has just captured a pawn on b2 to offer a Queen trade and is up +2 points of material. Should White accept?

Sometimes defending yourself doesn't mean moving away. Find another move that defends the White Queen.

The Black Queen just captured a Bishop on f7 that was forking the King and Queen and now material is equal. However, it's now pinned by the White Queen. Should the White Queen immediately trade Queens?

Black offers a Queen trade with a pin to the King. What is White's best response?

Several minor pieces have been traded off the board on e5. Black is up +1 point of material. Now, Black is offering a Queen trade. What's White's best response?

White is up +1 point of material when Black offers to trade Queens. How should White respond?

Material is equal. Should Black trade Queens here?
