Opening Overview: Bishop's Opening: Boi Variation

The Bishop's Opening: Boi Variation (C23) is a distinct Bishop's Opening variation, defined by the move Bc5. This setup tests tactical precision.

Strategic Context: While b5 is the main choice, Bc5 offers a different perspective. It succeeds by sacrificing popularity for a higher scoring weapon. This move activates the Bishop. However engines consider this ambitious, often preferring safer alternatives. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: As the position develops, the priority becomes to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
