Tip: Exploiting Your Bishop Pair 2 of 3

Get closer to the endgame. With fewer pieces left in the position, the dominance of the two bishops can really be felt, as they can control both sides of the board at once. If the enemy knight doesn't have a secure outpost to use, it can find itself passive and restricted in its own territory.
