nor why they are superior, when they are, and least of all, what to do with the advantage of the two bishops, when achieved.

It was GM Jacob Aagaard who came up with the idea of this new series and asked me to write it. The design of each book in the series is to focus on a single strategic topic with uncluttered

clarity that a club-level player can easily absorb, with mostly verbal explanation and sparse analysis. The books will be smaller than normal, designed to be read in a single weekend.

This one, the first of the series, is an attempt to fill a knowledge gap in the club-level player’s understanding of the bishop pair. While some people consider opening books written for both

sides no different than a government encouraging a war between two countries and then selling arms to both, with a book like this one on a single strategic theme, it works best not to

advocate for one side or another. In this book, we neither idolize nor demonize ownership of the bishop pair but instead attempt to examine the variables objectively.

We try to identify when the bishop pair is a strategic delicacy, when it’s a hindrance, and when it is a humdrum, neutral entity.
