The Chess Mind

Which minor piece is better, the bishop or the knight? As a little experience informs us, the answer is: It depends. Learning what it depends on is part of the process of education we all go through, and in this presentation I try to offer some assistance towards that end. This week I look at some fairly simple cases in which one minor piece or the other is dominant, and in the next week or two I'll look at more complex examples.

This show is geared primarily at players under approximately 1800 (maybe even a little lower); if you're in that category, I think you'll find the material useful. (If not, you'll let me know!) It's free and available on demand, so you can take advantage of it at your leisure. Enjoy!
