Bishops and queens are trash in closed positions. Knights are almost useless in open positions. If you're going to trade bishop for knight, I recommend closing the position quickly. If the position is closed and you're going to trade knight for bishop, open the entire position.
End game bishop is not good would rather have rook

Rooks and kings can singlehandedly checkmate the opponent. Bishops and kings can't.

I dislike the queen. Here is why:
1. u get forked by ur opponent's queen
2. It is the most valuable piece (besides the king) and it gets chased around by random pawns.
3. U often get checkmated by your opponent's queen
4. there is only ONE queen per side.
Chess should have harem variant where every piece beside the king is replaced by queens.

The bishop never saves me.
I agree - checkmating with 1 or 2 bishops is very difficult. I find them VERY irritating 🙄.
defenently the king i always lose bc of it
I hate the oppents king
bishops are never helpful even though the best players say bishops are better than knights. bishops are too easy to escape from, get forced into a trade, etc

rooks. tired of having to always save them from a cheap bishop, and theyre useless at defending themselves for a piece thats literally meant to portray a defensed castle... to be honest im not sure ive ever considered a rook nearly as useful as a knight. too much work to activate for how little they manage to help.
rooks are best in endgames because in the end game you are facing mostly pieces with equal or higher value. And rooks are usually good at hunting down pawns.

Queen because it's so high maintenance. You get twofold attacked or get a battery used on you and BOOM: your queen is now a tall pawn.
