it depends upon the position of the end game in the board. For closed positions Knight is better than Bishop as it jumps and go around.

I would say knights are better than bishops, largely because Sir Paul McCartney is a better person than Bishop Lawrence Donald Soens

In a KBvKN endgame, there're 2 times of possible winning positions for the Knight than the Bishop. So Knight is better.

Bishops are better than knights but in endgame both useless And

Because bishops can only go on one square color while knights can only go 3 squares a move

Bishops. They have more range in open space.
