Bishop Pair

For Bishop Pair we have a term and definition in Chess.



Bishop Pair (Chess)

Two Bishops vs. a Bishop and a Knight or two Knights. If both Bishops on the same side have survived late into a game of Chess, then their value is enhanced for two reasons. Together they can attack a piece on any color square. Their mobility is usually less restricted by Pawns late in the game. Therefore, a Bishop pair is a notable advantage.
