The Sniper Corridors
"Highway routes where fianchettoed bishops project long-range pressure across the entire board."
The great long diagonals (a1–h8 and h1–a8) where fianchettoed bishops project unstoppable long-range pressure across the entire chessboard.
Strategic Significance
The Sniper Corridors are the highways of diagonal power. A bishop posted on g2/g7 or b2/b7 slices across the entire length of the board, exerting crushing long-range pressure.
