“The Invisible Bishop“ White “Pembrook, Nelson“ Black “GM Rick Richi“ 0-1

The bishop can be invisible to its opponent’s eye. Going unobserved to the last moment. The moment when the bishop strikes; usually with the assistance of another piece. In this case the Queen. In the realm of chess, there exists a mystical occurrence—a strategic maneuver that leaves opponents bewildered and astounded. It is a moment when the bishop, ever watchful, cloaks itself in an invisible shroud, evading the prying eyes of its adversary. Patiently biding its time, the bishop waits, concealed in the depths of the chessboard, until the opportune moment arises. As the battle unfolds, the tension mounts, and the players engage in a delicate dance of strategy and tactics. Amidst the intricate web of moves and counter-moves, the bishop remains hidden, its presence unnoticed. Its purpose is not to draw attention but to deceive, to mask its true intentions until the final decisive blow. And then, in a climactic twist, the bishop reveals itself—a masterstroke that catches its opponent off guard. Wi
