What is a wrong bishop in chess?
- Pieces
- Activity
- Coordination
Wrong bishop is a piece-play concept: wrong-colored bishop. A bishop that, because of the color squares it is restricted to, suffers critical loss of utility in the game position. Ask whether the piece is active, coordinated, and serving a real plan.
