Sacrifices: Bishop or Knight?

I think it is better to sac with the bishop because the knight is a tricky peace you don't want to lose it can't be blocked if it is checked and in bughouse four knights are legendary

This isn't bughouse.

very difficult, it mainly depends on the position, but I would rather have a knight! tongue.png

Often a bishop sacrifice on the kingside is very effective in breaking a castled king's protection...I rarely sacrifice but I would choose bishop over knight, at least in that case.

its about situation

most of time knight because Bishop is long rang pic.

It depends on the position. Case by case

I would tend to prefer to sacrifice the knight when I am breaking someone's pawn formations in standard chess, but in Bughouse I would definitely agree that the knights are better.

I would probably rather sacrifice a bishop than a knight but it would depend on the situation. The knight can be really good to sneak up on someone and getting back in the game if you are behind.

In the endgame the knight is not as good, but when there are a lost of pieces on the board the knight would probably be better.

I really prefer to keep my bishops. Long-range weapon.

Bobby Fischer said knight is 3 and bishop 3.25 and Kasparov said knight 3 and bishop 3.15

Also maters on the position let’s say in end game usually bishop because it’s long range piece but in middle game usually knight because has more places to move even when the board is full

Never sacriface in bughouse

Think about which one you'd rather have with you in the endgame... For example is your other bishop/knight still alive? Also, is there a sharp attack that the not-sacrifised piece can immediately carry on? then keep it!
