Exploiting the Bishop Pair: Winning Chess Strategies

All chess players have heard about the power of the bishop pair – but many have no understanding of when the two bishops are superior, nor why they are superior, when they are, and least of all, what to do with the advantage of the two bishops, when achieved.
Questions like these are at the epicentre of this refreshing new project, headlined by prolific and well-established author Cyrus Lakdawala. Keeping variations to a bear minimum, but using extensive explanations combined with his trademark prose, the American International Master dissects this well-known but rarely understood theme, in terms that make it accessible to players on all levels of their chess development. Exploiting the Bishop Pair aims to be both an exciting and pleasant read, as well as a deeply instructive textbook, granting the ambitious player all they need to put in their arsenal an invaluable Winning Chess Strategy.

International Master Cyrus Lakdawala is one of the leading chess authors of our time, renowned for his humour, all-encompassing love of the game, and ability to explain chess in plain terms. His books have won multiple accolades, including the Chess.com Book of the Year Award 2024 for Unknown Fischer.
