They say that the horse and the bishop are equal in strength, but is this always the case? The truth is, it all depends on the position. You need to know well the specifics of playing with light pieces to be able to judge your strength. A poorly placed or limited piece can result in a loss for the group. That's why we need to know which pieces in which positions we need.
1. The knight is stronger than the bishop in closed positions.
2. The bishop is stronger than the knight in open positions.
3. Queen + Knight combination is stronger than Queen + Bishop. (Their attack is very dangerous because they can attack the same squares from different places.)
4. The bishop is generally stronger than a knight. 5. Bishop + rook is stronger than bishop + knight. 6. The bishop's pair is stronger than bishop + knight or a knight's pair.
