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."
