The Bad Bishop is a notorious villain in chess, but often a perfectly respectable bishop is falsely accused. The Secret Life of Bad Bishops takes an in-depth look at the bishop – not just dealing with good and bad bishops but also more nuanced cases where a “double-edged bishop” could turn out to be a game-winning hero or a fatal liability. All phases of chess are covered, from opening to middlegame to endgame. The final two chapters test the reader’s newly enhanced understanding with carefully chosen exercises and instructive solutions.

"The concept of the 'bad bishop' has always been confusing and even divisive… Lund resolves this problem by coining a new term: the 'Double-Edged Bishop', which he defines as 'a bishop that cannot yet be declared as good or bad, but rather holds the potential of becoming good as well as the risk of becoming bad'.When I read this, I was very happy! It's one of those wonderful moments when something you have understood intuitively is explained clearly and concisely and a little part of chess suddenly makes a bit more conscious sense." -- GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess
