the most obvious thing to do is- when you are up one piece( i repeat UP ONE PIECE) it dosent matter which piece it is, just TRADE EVERYTHING

You will have advantage as when once ur done trading everything, it’ll juz be both the kings, and YOUR extra piece
You can also do the opposite. Slow down the trades instead of making quick trades. Then the opponent won't be able to read what you are actually doing.

Not always will this give an advantage though. Trading down to just Kings and a lone Knight or lone Bishop is a draw because it is impossible to force checkmate!
Generally speaking, when you are up material (especially if up by 3 or more in material, but Grandmasters even often trade down up by just a pawn!), then you should try to exchange pieces because you want to simplify into an endgame where you have more material and theoretically an endgame you are better in...but you can't trade everything just by your material lead alone.
Here is a good example I created:

Don't rely solely on psychology like opponent reading what you are doing or not. In chess, we want to try the moves we believe are best and assume our opponent will play their best too.
Objectively speaking, it is a good guideline to trade pieces when winning in material (to simplify) and when losing in material to avoid trading pieces (while complicating the position if you can to give better chance the opponent messes up).
These are guidelines only on material though - you still have to reason for yourself in each unique situation and aim to reach an endgame better for you. How do you know which endgames are better for you? This is where studying endgames comes in. In my pgn example, the player with white should have known that 2B + K vs K is a theoretical win by checkmate, but B + K vs K is a draw.

I use it as a complementary play not the play for win. It is a mixture of both.

In my opinion, follow the steps at the top of the page but stop trading when you are some material(at least around 2-5 pawns) up and is enough to force a win(meaning lone bishop or knight doesnt follow my opinion while two seperate pawns does unless they are doubled)
Let this trash topic die already. There was absolutely no need to revive it. Everything that was said by the OP is nonsense. PacMaster000's post is also nonsense.

LOL, I wanted to tell the OP this but I saw your post just in time.

Never make any trade when you are up a pawn. If you are up a pawn, make trades that either improve your position or seemingly do nothing.

Yup I cut that out so you would understand the questionmark.
