The Secret Life of Bad Bishops

Descripción

The Secret Life of Bad Bishops The Bad Bishop is a notorious villain in chess, but often a perfectly respectable bishop is falsely accused.

The Secret Life of Bad Bishops takes an in-depth look at the bishop – not just dealing with good and bad bishops but also more nuanced cases where a “double-edged bishop” could turn out to be a game-winning hero or a fatal liability. All phases of chess are covered, from opening to middlegame to endgame.

The final two chapters test the reader’s newly enhanced understanding with carefully chosen exercises and instructive solutions.

Esben Lund, an International Master from Denmark, is a respected author and coach. His first book for Quality Chess, Rook vs. Two Minor Pieces, earned excellent reviews.
