The bishop
In all phases of the game, we should constantly
search for ideal diagonals for our
bishops. Since the bishop is able to move
rapidly from one flank to another, its range
can be drastically improved in a few moves.
We will start with some examples where
one player seizes one of the long diagonals.
The fact that these cross the whole board
turns out to be more important than one
might perhaps initially think.
