Debate: Knight or Bishop?

Hawks

Depends on position and time control

I won't really include time control in...

I like both

But which would you rather tho?

a queen

You sound like a politician, never answering a question

the bishop is more in control of the diagonals which gives them a big advantage to play with but with the knight you can make all off this, more different to calculate' "FORKS" which make them very tricky.

To me it depends on the situation , i like to play them both.

Knights are better in a closed position while bishops are better in an open position, as knights can hop over pieces while bishops can't. I personally think bishops are slightly more valuable pieces, as you can force checkmate with two bishops, but not with two knights. However, that is the endgame, when there are less pieces on the board, but in the opening, when there are more pieces on the board, knights are extremely powerful since they can fork any pieces that aren't also knights. Really, a knight's value decreases as the game goes on, while a bishop's value increases.

Thing is I have a full blog on that

bishop is better

again it depends, but bishops are worth 3.3-3.5 points and knights are 3

i didint know we went into decimals now

my pfp is a knight because i love forking
