Bishop

The Bishop is a piece on Chess. Each player starts with two bishops; one of the bishop starts between Knight and King, the other one being Knight and Queen.

Value

 * The value of a Bishop is 3 points, almost valued the same as Knight, which is also 3.
 * A Bishop is generally worth more than a Knight in the endgame (due to open spaces), and the midgame, a Knight will worth more than a Bishop (due to close spaces).

Placement and movement

 * The starting squares are c1 and f1 for White's bishops, and c8 and f8 for Black's bishops.
 * Because a bishop can only move diagonally, it always have to be on the same color as original no matter how many times you move a bishop.
 * Because the starting squares of two bishops a player has are on different color, they can never block nor occupied one another.
 * The Maximum possible moves for a bishop is 13.
