Bishops are Sneaky and Dangerous

In 2018 before I completely lost my memory and mine I wrote a chess program for my granddaughters (https://www.bbgirlsgames.com/Chess02/public/index.html). Imagine my delight when they became interested in chess they were 5 & 8 years at the time. They were very interested in chess and the website (https://www.bbgirlsgames.com) that I created for them but they moved on to bigger and better things(I guess). I'm sure they will come back to chess one day, I ended up on the other blockchain because of this and now the hive blockchain.

After just a few years of chess I came to a slight disagreement with the traditional scoring system for chess pieces. Where both the Knight and bishop are scored about three points. I had many discussions and debates with my mentor about this scoring. My preference was to score the knight slightly higher then the bishop.

Many people describe the knight and bishop in many different ways and for many different reasons just as I do myself. However it has become very apparent to me that The Bishop is just Dam Sneaky!!! That is the best way to describe the bishop. The bishop is also very dangerous because it is constantly collaborating with another piece mainly a queen or a knight to do serious damage to your chess kingdom and chess game.

The bishop will hang back on a distant rank hiding and pretending not to be up to anything and the bishop is very good at this, it's just sneaky by nature :). Just know most times the bishop is plotting to split your king and rook with their knight or even checkmate you with their queen. Yes the bishop is very sneaky and dangerous because it's always plotting with another piece. This new revelation has convince me to capture my opponents bishops when possible. Some of my tournament opponents may realize that I normally try to capture their sneaky dam bishop with my knight or even sometimes with my rook. When a queen protected by a bishop checkmate me I'm normally stunned and surprised out of my mine :).
