	Encyclopedia: Bishop (chess)
		In chess the fianchetto (Italian little flanking) is a pattern of development wherein a bishop is developed to the second rank of the adjacent knight file, the knight pawn having been moved one or two squares forward.
		Auxiliary bishop:An auxiliary bishop is a full-time assistant to a diocesan bishop (the Roman Catholic equivalent of an Anglican suffragan bishop).
		An antimension signed by the bishop is kept on the altar partly as a reminder of whose altar it is and under whose omophorion the priest at a local parish is serving.

	Bishop (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because the bishop has access to only thirty-two squares of the board, it is rather weaker than the rook to which all sixty-four squares of the board are accessible.
		Bishops gain in relative strength towards the endgame as more and more pieces are traded, and lines open up on which they can operate.
		In an open endgame, a pair of bishops is decidedly superior to a bishop and a knight or two knights.

	Chess Glossary
		When a Bishop has little or no mobility because of being hemmed by Pawns positioned on squares of the same colour as the Bishop's square, it is said to be a "bad Bishop".
		If both Bishops on the same side have survived late into a game of Chess, then their value is enhanced for two reasons.
		Such Bishop is very active because it is positioned on a square of the opposite colour to the squares on which most of its Pawns are stationed.

	Talk:Bishop (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is impossible to checkmate with a king and a bishop versus a king, even if both players cooperate to try to set up a checkmate position.
		I'm no expert on chess history, but I've read a fair bit, and my copy of the Oxford Companion to Chess (I don't have anything better to hand just now) confirms our initial thoughts: the bishop replaced the fil, which took its name from the Persian for "elephant".
		Maybe it's just because in modern novelty chess sets the rook is sometimes represented as a war elephant.

	Playing the Bishop in Chess
		The bishop is generally viewed as the fourth most important piece in your chess army, together with the knight, after the King, the Queen, and the Rook.
		The bishop is generally valued as being equivalent to the knight, but it must be kept in mind that the bishop starts the game at its least powerful, and slowly increases in value as pieces are cleared off the chessboard.
		Conventional chess theory prescribes placing the bishop near the center of the board, as it has more possible moves there than if it were in a corner.

	The Bishop
		A Bishop captures diagonally, either forward or backwards and the range extends on unobstructed cells to the extent of the diagonal line of cells on which the Bishop travels.
		The weakness of a Bishop is in the defencelessness of the cells of opposite colour, its main strength in its long-striding ability.
		This was seen as a Bishops mitre in Europe and a recognition of the status of the church of the period.

		Black's bishop is prevented from participating productively in the game by a thicket of fl pawns, so Black is effectively playing with one piece fewer than White.
		Although the fl pawns are in the way of the white bishop too, it has many more attacking possibilities, and thus is a good bishop vis-a-vis Black's bad bishop.

		If you transpose the knight and bishop to just one side of the lineup, then the four pieces (your 2 knights and 2 bishops) can theoretically hit every spot on the board (not each piece but together the 4 pieces can "hit" every spot on the board granted enough moves are made).
		In Chinese Chess, moving from the 5th to the 6th row is "moving across the river" where the pawns gain the power to move one step sideways--and where the Bishops can not move across.
		For the curious, the Chinese Chess pawn is different; it can't move sideways until after getting to it's 6th row (called after crossing the river) and it can't move down the diagonal line in the enemy's fortress.
