Book Synopsis
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.
