I keep occasionally hearing on this forum, though only informally, that one strategy for fighting against a fianchettoed bishop is to aim an opposite fianchettoed bishop at it. I confirmed this strategy by looking up various fianchettoed openings where such a strategy does in fact appear to be commonplace. However, it still mystifies me greatly why I've *never* explicitly read this general advice in any chess book.
Bishop fianchetto vs Bishop Fianchetto
Sort:
I was playing as black and lost 2 games..............i started with indian structure ie Bg7, Nf6,0-0 pawns on h7,g6,f7,d6.....
white had structure like pawn d4,e4,b3 and Bb2,0-0......
i got little nervous to my black colour( black's black colour bishop) facing white's black bishop.....................
Is it some sort of white's tendency to control a1-h8 diagonal ...is there any attack like such ....or is it simply a novice strategy ......can i go for blocking white's d4 pawn so that white's black bishop cannot attack........Kindly reply......
