I am a King's Indian player myself and I know about the Black's Queen Bishop, but I have played quite a few games when I didn't actually manage to activate that Bishop. Of course, it is a "good" bishop, and it remains a "good" Bishop even without moving, but actually activating it is somewhat more difficult. It only activates if there is an attack going on the Kingside. In some variations like the Four Pawns attack where the Black doesn't get to attack on the Kingside that Bishop is actually often traded for the White's King's Knight.
To Develope a Bishop
Sort:
That is why I specified Classical KID which is just about pure race. Of course you always have to analyze the specific position.

??? Who are you talking to?
The position in @#6 (a classical KID) may be closed and the center fixed, but the game has hardly slowed down. There is an urgent race going on and time is of the essence. Black needs to break through on the king-side before White breaks through on the queen-side.

I know the Church has loosened its laws of late, but I'm still pretty sure that bishops can't elope (whether they're devs or not)...
Perhaps it's meant to be de-elope, and refers to a crack team of abbots who hunt down and bring back bishops who have run off with buxom town girls?

You can see why there isn't a chess piece based on a cardinal. Not much hat to work with.
Maybe, but mainline Ruy Lopez and classical Kings Indian Defense would seem to be two important exceptions.
