EQUAL BUT when the position is closed the knight is better. if there are pawns on both flanks of the board, then the bishop is better.
Knights vs. Bishops
Sort:
I just have to appreciate the forking power of the knight in the middlegame, it has helped me win a lot of games.
Knights because they can fork really really well :).
But bishops can also skewer and pin.
Yes, but skewers are rare and pins rarely win material. Forks, on the other hand...
lol this is more of an argument but knight forks arent really common in the higher levels.
Thats the point lol
SourMangoose in that tournament game i shouldn't have went for the attack when you played f6

How come?
Because higher rated players don't fall for it
well actually falling for a sneaky knight fork trick is reall not that hard to see
Ok ok
Knights are better :)
Yes, someone finally agrees with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pls show how....
Hey guys, in this forum, you can vote on which is better, a knight or a bishop? Please explain your choice so we can talk about it. Have fun!!!! :)
I prefer bishops because they are very useful in the endgames because they can stop past pawns and a knight takes too much time and is not useful.
