Bishop rules the end game and also the very early game against unskilled players.

Knights control the board early to mid game and can be valuable later, but they aren't really a force for taking pieces more as a force to control wide swathes of the board.

Horse+Horse = rekt
Bishop+Bishop = semi rekt
Horse+Bishop = Horse will almost always be offense and Bishop will almost always be a bluff


Also, use the pawns

Knight is less restricted in movement because it can jump over pices but can only attack eight squares and can't block pathways. However it can attack a lot of pieces which can't attack it so it doesn't need the same level of defence that the Bishop needs.

Bishop can attack up to fourteen squares but, most importantly, blocks pathways.
However it can be attacked on it's own path by three different pieces(Pawn, Bishop and Queen).

I'd say the Knight is the more valuable piece. Specifically if you're playing against less experienced players because they can't get used to it easily.

You can't checkmate with 2 knights, 2 bishops can. Provided they're not on the same colour square.

It's 100% situational. Locks pawns = Knights. Open pawns = Bishops.

It depends on how the chessboard looks like. Bishop in open game, Knight in closed game.
>>
>>77655340
the white ones
>>
>>77656667

Depends entirely on the pawn structure. If locked I'd sacrifice a Bishop and try to take a Knight. If open I'd use a Knight. It's not exactly rocket science. Of course, I'd need to know all the factors. Are there open ranks? Have we traded Queens? Did a king castle already? What's the opening gambit, etc...
>>
>>77656667
It depends. Most of the time I'd trade my knight for a bishop though.

i was in chess club through school and played it a lot it is knight because it gives excellent cover square and can be used in unision and support each other if in cener of the board it is excellent.to cross over pieces also its unusual movement makes it hard for less skilled opponents to see its movement future

there is no better piece, bishop is far superior in open, knight dominates closed. that is why knight is better in a mid game while bishop is usually stronger in an end game.

Generally speaking in a more closed game, the knight, in a more open game the bishop. Although Knight tends to be more of an asset earlier on because its more mobile in the beginning, Bishop in the endgame.

I've taught Chess to kids for a few years now and this always comes up. Truthfully, it comes down to your play style. I like sneaky chess in closed games, which makes knight drastically better for me. However, at the end of a game (less than 6 pieces), and if playing against someone good enough to avoid forks, a bishop is absolutely better. Bishops control a board while knights are stealth forkers. In a chess game of 30 moves, the bishop rates slightly higher in value. However, it ALL depends on the board. A better question is the 6 point trade: knight+bishop vs rook+pawn on f2/f7 after opponent castles kingside. That's a better argument.

You could argue Bishop is better though since people tend to target the Queen and forget about the Bishop (plus you have two of them).

Bishop is more powerful.

If you ever watch how the grandmasters play they keep their bishops back making it difficult for a person to move certain pieces. For example you can't move a pawn because a bishop could then capture the queen behind it.

Shit is annoying as fuck.
>>
>>77655340
Horse. As other people said, knights are better beginning game.

Use your knights properly, and you'll have a better beginning game which translates to a better end game. But that's not to say bishops aren't valuable either
