(disclaimer I am not a good chess player)
In high school I was playing chess with someone better than me and my plan was to trade equal pieces as much as possible because I am bound to make worse/stupid mistakes than more he does and because of that I wanted to move end game as fast as possible.
It actually worked and it ended in tie! I still remember the end game, it was amazing

I was white, I think the last move was I moved my pawn and declared tie
- learnstats2 7y agoThis is closely related to the chess strategy of 'simplification'. If you are 'winning' (here this works for your idea of winning), it's good to trade pieces to get to the end game quicker while retaining the advantage.
