(in chess) a piece that moves diagonally across any number of unoccupied squares of the same color
A bishop is a chess piece that moves diagonally across the board. It can travel any number of squares along a diagonal, but it cannot move horizontally or vertically. Each player starts with two bishops, one on a light-colored square and one on a dark-colored square, and each bishop can only move on squares of the same color it started on. The bishop is a powerful piece in the endgame because of its long-range movement, but it is often less valuable in the early stages of the game when the board is crowded with other pieces.

- Each player starts with two bishops.
- The bishop controls long diagonal lines on the board.
