The reason why most of them plays the bishops opening is after Nf6 to play d4, going into the (Ponziani)Urusov-Gambit and other wild stuff. Luckily you did not cover this line :D
This is the secrets of the bishops as noted by Goldie. The King’s Bishop, regardless what color, must be preserved for a winning strategy. Black must exchange his QB for White’s KB or other plan to kill White’s KB to gain a 30% advantage. And visa versa, for White, he must keep his KB and try to exchange his QB for Black’s KB. This is an observational rule.
It depends on the pawn structure. In most pawn structures there is a defined "good bishop" and a defined "bad bishop". A good bishop is the bishop that occupies the color opposite of it's own pawns. The bad bishop is the bishop that is on the same color of it's own pawns. It is typically a good thing to trade your bad bishop for your opponents good bishop. As for a 30% advantage? We really don't measure advantages that way. Pieces have variable value throughout the game. We asses positions as equal (between 0.00 and 0.50 pawns) "slight edge" (somewhere between 0.50 and 1.00 pawns) Major advantage (between 1.00 pawns and 1.50 pawns) and decisive advantage (greater than 1.50 pawns) we can also use designations like unclear or with compensation. Typically getting rid of a bad bishop for a good bishop is something that gives a slight edge. A slight edge on it's own is not typically enough to win but it's a step in the right direction.
@@robertplunkettschesslab It mostly all depends on kingside or queenside castle of opposing side. The corner of the castle of White softly determines the diagonal of the bad bishop for Black’s advantage in the endgame, and this bishop must be exchanged. A quick bonsai. And visa versa. As far as pawn structure, he with the most pawns after the mid game and equivalent major pieces has the greater advantage.
@@mrgoldie109 It's the other way around. The pawn structure defines which side you castle on. Castleing doesn't define the pawn structure. In order to castle you need to move a bishop out. In order to move a bishop out you need to move a pawn. When you move out a pawn it will land on either a dark square or a light square. So just by the functionality of chess you typically have a defined bad bishop before you ever castle. The only exception being if no pawns ever meet in the middle and the structure remains undefined, but again we have general rules for castleing based on pawn structure. There are typical sides to castle based on pawn structures including undefined structures. We typically classify pawn structures as either "open" or "closed" and then we can even sub catagorize those structures into "semi open" and "semi closed" we can also use terms like undefined. Pawn structure effects everything. A way I like to think of it is pieces are like modeling a sculpture with clay, they can move out or back. Pawns on the other hand are like modeling a structure in stone, they move forward but never back and this gives them a structure that all other pieces must operate around.
@@mrgoldie109 I like the fact that you are thinking about it and trying to come up with general rules. I remember when I was starting out I did the same thing. I remember I came up with a concept of "Sectionalized Attack method" when I relized that it was often possible to focus attacking on just someones kingside or queenside for example. What I did not realize is that great players and world champions like Lasker, Capablanca, Bronstein etc etc had already written a lot on what I was crudely constructing as general rules. Lasker discussed in detail rules for wing attacks etc. Good books for general strategic rules would be Laskers manual of chess or chess fundamentals by Capablanca. I also learned a lot from Zurich 1953 by David Bronstein. You are asking the right questions and that is an amazing first step that is way beyond what most people are doing.

lol i just browsed on google how to counter bishop opening and your video was there on the suggestions excellent
excellent. check out my other videos too then.
There is still very little on TH-cam still for Bishop's Opening defense.

3. d4 exd4 4. Nf3 Nc6 just transposes to the Scotch Gambit, so you can get away without learning how to refute the Urusov
And instead of d3 they all play Nf3 with crazy gambit lines

Solo move ......ok
