Black to move
In Logical Chess: Move by Move (1998 [1957]), Chernev explains White's compensation for his doubled c-pawns. Black moved his dark-squared bishop four times in eleven moves to exchange itself for a knight that moved once.
1. Active minor pieces
2. All minor pieces in play.
3. Connected rooks.
4. Secure king.
5. Active, centralized queen.
6. A plan to open lines in the center through a pawn exchange, which favors the player (White) whose "development is superior" (163).
