I know what you're all going to say -- it depends on the position.  But based on your general impression of their various strengths and weaknesses which do you think gives the greater overall advantage?

Well, if marriage if going to be forced from any position, I think the answer is obvious.

You gonna take a chance if its pointed your way?

Lives last longer if one always assumes a gun is loaded.

Is the shotgun purple?

I would never take a chance with a purple shotgun.

But the rook and Queen can often neutralize the shotgun's control of the dark squares.

well generally when i play in tournaments its not my rooks,queens, or knights that get me the wins if you catch my drift
