4 knights since the game would become more tactical
4 bishops or four knighits.
Sort:
True. Four bishops would also be hard to keep track of.
The game might also become more closed, I guess.
I'd say 4 knights too, the bishops would probably end up getting trapped and in each other's ways
Oh. I'm not sure.
Maybe your opponent gets the one you don't?

Yeah.
But I think the other (agaisnt normal) makes more sense.

i'd say bishops have them all developed in the right places you could cover nearly the whole board while knights you have to re-route to the other side of the board.

Exactly.
So I would say Knights.
Try and make it closed.
If you can't, then you have always got your queen or rooks to go to. You would have to use them a lot more.

But if you play bishops, but your opponent manages to close it, you have no pecies to use.
At all, really.

First instinct is knights, because bishops would be clumsy during the first part of the game.
But you should be able to trade off at least 1 set of minors easily. I think I'd go with bishops.
Interesting choice.
What about this-
Normal, or
4 rooks, 1 knight, 1 bishop.
At first it seems great- more rooks!
But I think it may be more complicated... I'd go normal.

If it's 4 bishops vs 4 knights, the knights will actually have problems getting active I think. And any that do can easily be traded to where you'd have a normal 2 B vs 2 N kind of position.

When there are 8 pawns each rooks aren't worth a lot... but with so many extra rooks you could do 2 exchange "sacrifices" and have a normal position. So I'd take the 4 rooks.
BUT more importantly- how would it effect the way we play our beloved game?
