Lasker's Secret Principle

"He Emanuel Lasker told me that this principle of controlling as many squares as possible was his guide at every stage of the game.

He said "In the majority of cases it is probably best to have Knight and Bishop on squares of the same color, because then they control squares of opposite colors."

Chess Secrets, Edward Lasker
