dark squares
Bishops stay here
In chess, the dark squares are the 32 squares of one color on the board, alternating with light squares in a checkerboard pattern.
Despite being called dark, they may be green, brown, or blue depending on the board.
Bishops are confined to squares of one color: Her dark-squared bishop dominated the diagonal.
