The classics taught: the simplest and most effective way to outplay a less experienced chess player is to get into a position where a knight battles a bishop. It is believed that these pieces are equal in strength, but they have very different characters! If we draw an analogy with hockey, bishops are fast and straightforward players with a powerful shot, who love open space. Knights are agile, technical, and cunning forwards, capable of outplaying and confusing opponents with their moves. The goal of this book is to help you improve your understanding of chess, develop a "sixth sense" for correctly and quickly evaluating positions with different force ratios: bishop against knight "one on one," with rooks, with queens, and with all heavy pieces. Typical pawn structures are also considered, as in many openings, the struggle between these diverse pieces begins from the very first moves. The author, an experienced coach who has raised many generations of chess players, does not overwhelm the reader with computer variations but tries to explain the essence of what is happening on the board in detail and understandably. "When you read this book and absorb many useful recommendations of great chess players, which the author has carefully presented to your attention, your hand will start making much stronger moves without the help of your head" (M. Shereshevsky). For chess players of all levels and coaches.
