What a lousy translation....

True, but the material imbalance of a rook for a minor piece, which
in English is called "the Exchange," is I believe called by the
equivalent of "the quality" in some other languages. For example, if
memory serves, it's called "la calidad" in Spanish. Perhaps those
fluent in other languages can tell us here by what other names it is
known.


Yes, but "Loss of Quality with a Gain of Tempo" is **my*** translation.
The original translator wrote: 'A Decline in the Standard of Play with
a Gain in Pace', which is nonsense.
