Below are the FENs and diagrams for the bishop tests from Reassess Your Chess p. 75-76.  Copy the string into the analysis and board editor to practice the moves.  Make sure you copy only the string and do not leave any blanks after pasting it into the editor.  Let me know if you see any errors.

Solutions are found Reassess Your Chess 4th ed
