The diverse set of tactical ideas involving a bishop and knight in the finale will enable them to gain a deeper understanding of how the bishop and knight pair combine.</p><p>Some of these studies are classics from bygone ages. Others were originally published in the Soviet Union or ex-Soviet countries.</p><p>This is the seventh book in the <em>World Champion's Favorite Studies</em> series by Sergei Tkachenko to be published by Elk and Ruby Publishing House.</p>
