The bishop and knight are equal in points but which is truly better in your opinion. The knight is known to be more useful in the opening controling up to 8 different squares (not including the one it's on) and able to fork pieces frequently although it can't pin or skewer, and the bishop is known to be more useful in the end game controling long diagonals and frequently pins and skewers but highly ever forks. Personally my favorite is the bishop.

lol the most correct answer is it depends on the position. Woulf you prefer a dark colored bishop with a closed position where all your pawns are on black and there are no tactics vs. a knight?

A knight because it confuses your opponent more often.

Well I meant which do you like more usually or in an equal case scenerio

The knight.

The knight.

A Bishop pair is generally considered better in the end game; more chance of a mate than two knights :)

A Bishop pair vs a Knight and a Bishop is generally closer. A Bishop is more obvious but a knight takes more moves to travel further, so the position/location is key.

Also, 2 pawns vs a Knight is generally considered less of a sack then 2 pawns for a bishop. In an end game however, 3 linked pawns are worth way more than either, but at the start of a game, the pawns are cannon fodder for position. JMO

Which is better: the bishop or the knight

:)

Well a bishop would be better than a knight as you get someone called My Lord Bishop whereas a knight only gets a Sir.  The king and queen clearly outrank them both in titles, but what of the pawn?  As it is lowly but has promotion potential it must be an illegitimate heir.  The rook, however, is just another old crow eating the eyes out of dead sheep.  No nobility there at all.  The chessboard itself is a collection of squares so possibly represents the Houses of Parliament....plenty lords and knights so on balance the most titled of them all is the board.  I won't even mention chess clocks, they are two faced.

Well Knights are more confusing, but Bishops have greater mobility especially in the endgame.
