  1. This is great, this is my favorite piece on the board because it can trap a lot of the opponents moves, it's also great at forks.

  2. For me bishop is the best piece in the board because with him we can do a LOT of strategies to get materials and checkmates, BISHOP PRO

  3. And of course i just realized the bishop is opposite of the rook

  4. I'm new to chess and my bishop was on f8 while my queen was on e8 my opponent had his bishop attacking my knight that was on f6. So I tried moving my bishop to e7 and the only move it would let me do with that bishop was e6… So why could I not move it into g7 or e7
