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?

FIDE Picks Grischuk to Take Carlsen’s Place, If Not Fill His Shoes — Less than a week after Magnus Carlsen of Norway, the No. 2 chess player in the world in the official rankings (and No. 1 in unofficial but more up-to-date calculations), made his surprising announcement that he was withdrawing from the cycle to select a challenger for the world chess championship, the World Chess Federation announced Wednesday that he will be replaced by Alexander Grischuk of Russia, No. 6 in the world. The pairings for the first round of the candidates matches that will determine the challenger are now Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, No. 5, vs. Gata Kamsky of the United States, No. 19; Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, No. 4, vs. Teimour Radjabov of Azerbaijan, No. 12; Levon Aronian of ...

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-)

Chess: Magnus Carlsen repeats success in China — Norwegian chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen won the third Pearl Spring tournament in Nanjing, China, with an undefeated score of 7-3. The double round robin was the first ever to feature three players with ratings above 2800. A year ago, Carlsen won the second Pearl Spring tournament with a fantastic 8-2 score, probably his career peak. He did not appear quite as invincible this time, yet he clinched the first prize of 80,000 Euros (about $112,000) before the last round. World chess champion Viswanathan Anand finished second with 6-4, a fine performance marred only by a fluky loss to Etienne Bacrot of France. Although Anand enhanced his world's best rating of 2804 by four points, the new ...

Aronian Grabs Early Lead at Tal Memorial — Levon Aronian of Armenia is justifying his lofty new ranking. Aronian, who rose to No. 3 in the world in the rankings released last week, has taken the early lead at the Tal Memorial chess tournament in Moscow by beating two of the toughest players in the field in the first three rounds. In Round 1 on Friday, he beat Vladimir Kramnik of Russia and Sunday, in Round 3, he overcame the stout resistance of Boris Gelfand of Israel. After three rounds, Aronian has 2.5 points (1 point for each win and a half point for each draw). There is a logjam of five chess players tied for second place with 2 points each, including Sergey Karjakin of Russia; Hikaru Nakamura of the United States; Shakhriyar Mamedyarov of ...

World Chess Federation Rankings Reflect a Youth Movement — Every two months, the World Chess Federation ranks the top players. In addition to the main list, there is one for the best chess players under age 21. Increasingly, the lists hold many of the same names. On the latest main list, which was released on Monday, two of the top 10 and five of the top 36 are also on the junior list. And 11 of the top 36 have not celebrated their 24th birthday. The reasons that chess players reach the top at a younger age more quickly include advances in computer programs that are used for training and the availability of historic game databases. Plus, the Internet makes it possible to find sparring partners day or night. If chess players have not become grandmasters by the age of ...

Elite Moscow Chess Tournament Off to a Fast Start — Mikhail Tal, the former world chess champion, would probably have appreciated how the tournament named for him began on Friday. Four of the five games were decisive, though none came close to matching the swash buckling style for which he was famous. The Tal Memorial, which is held in Moscow, is one of the top tournaments on the chess calendar and it usually includes a world-class field. Last year, the tournament was one of the strongest of all time as it included Viswanathan Anand of India, the world chess champion, and Magnus Carlsen of Norway who became the youngest chess player in history to become No. 1 when the competition ended. Anand and Carlsen are not competing this ...
