These are too difficult. They have to be so easy that someone not very strong
(i.e. me), can more or less immediately see why this move would be the best or
one of the best. "Oh, I see. By putting the bishop there, I am forcing the
exchange of my bad bishop for his good, and at the same time removing a defender
of his outpost square".
