Just a general tip on improving in chess; Always evaluate the material situation by looking at what's on the board, never by what's off it. This extends naturally to properly evaluating exchanges. Ignore the relative merits of the pieces being captured and focus on the relative merits of the pieces left on the board. I agree that if there's a feature that displays the captured pieces it should work properly (even though I think it's a useless feature).
- ajkjk 11y agoI know about that and don't normally rely on the list of captured pieces in regular games. But, online I mostly play speed chess and play in parallel with other activities in my browser, so getting quick information about the board (or what changed between this turn and the last) is very useful.
