knights are better in closed positions because they can jump around the blocked pieces; the bishop is better in open positions because there are no pieces blocking the bishop, that way the bishop can reach a long range.

it depends on the position of knight in locked up position, i mean if you get something like this

the bishop is obviously better

AND THE POSITION IS LOCKED UP

  1. the position is not locked up, the kingside is locked up
  2. this bishop is a good bishop since all the pawns or on light squares and it is a dark-squared bishop
  3. this doesn't show how a bishop can doinate a knight, that's a better example:

The bishop is better in general.

I like bishops because I'm very low rated, and people my rating, myself included, often don't see a piece hanging that's being attacked by the bishop from across the board

Probably bishop because it helps to attack the king when it has castled. It is also good at controlling the corners.

it is better but your position is inappropriate to what we are talking abouut

this position is not locked up

you were countering "the knight is better in locked up psotiions"
