play online chess |  Subject: White squared Bishop or Black squared bishop?
Message:
Simple question, for white, is the White squared bishop more useful or the blacksquared bishop. I know this depends on the opening used but if asked to chose a favorite bishop which one would it be?

without a certain opening in mind, both are worth exactly the same. In the Ruy I like my light squared bishop very much, against the Sicilian I part with it regularily on move 3 or four (Bb5(+) whenever possible) - so that question can't be answered without reference to the opening you have in mind.

I'll change the question then, if you are playing BLACK without any knowledge about what opening is coming, which bishop is better?

Can i answer a different question then?! :)
But I think it might bear upon those asked.
If you are BL, then I believe that WT's wt sq Bishop is more likely to cause you danger early in the opening. Especially from c4,d3 or e2, but also from g2 in a fianchetto KI line.
The BL Bishop may take more time to become dangerous to you. If it does so early, most likely from pinning a piece upon f6. So you'd watch for that.
Being called away at the moment. Bye for now. }8-)

...i'm a Giuoco Piano player. i love my white bishop dearly as white. as black, however, i like to
play Anti-Torre and Dutch, and adore my white bishop there. so in both cases, go white bishops!

I like green colored bishops. Guess that explains my losing streak:)
