Perhaps there are no general rules in chess, since the truth of chess is its completeness of possible moves that lead necessarily to a win. It is unclear whether there is a rule that applies to all possibilities of winning. There might be more exceptions than rules if we discover the real chess.
However, the only way we can understand chess is by understanding rules, even though the final godlike version of rules might obey to the particularity of the game instead of our generalized way of thinking. Since our cognition has to work with regard to rules (which is the way concepts are structured), we have to focus on rules if we want to learn something (one could also call this pattern recognition, however, how can a pattern be understood if not by rules?).
In the following lesson the grandmaster Smirnov presents how we can evaluate the strength of bishops. This is related to the pawn structure and what we usually know as the "Bad Bishop". Usually a black bishop controls the same fields as the pawnchain which tremendously limits the scope of its action. See the examples in the following lesson: Difficulty 2/10 Information value 8/10
Moreover, here is another very instructive example from GM Smirnov. The most common mistake to him is to make immediately possible exchanges. Patience pays of. In his instructive examples it is actually possible to gain positional advantages merely by waiting.

Please comment and give hints to common grammatical mistakes I make and how to provide better information.
