The Bishop Pair

Alle vet at løperparet ofte gir en fordel mot løper og springer eller to springere, men temaet er lite behandlet i litteraturen. Her gir den anerkjente treneren Grivas sjakkstudenten både gode eksempler og råd om saken!

Forlagets omtale:

Endgame theory teaches us two fundamental issues: First, how to extract the maximum from a basic theoretical position with little material, where the experts (from practice comprising thousands of games) have reached definite conclusions. Second, the way in which we can handle an endgame, depending on the material remaining on the board, and the ideas and plans we should employ.

The purpose of this series is to introduce the reader to advanced training concepts, using the same methods of presentation and instruction that were taught to great players by famous trainers that they have worked with. The series will start with the topic of “the Bishop Pair” and we will examine how to handle this “power of the sun” coupling.
