I value Knights a little more than bishops. I have the same reason as 1400136896 does.
ARE YOU A BISHOP PERSON OR A KNIGHT PERSON?!?!?!

Besides pawns, what would you be then?
Knight. Reasons due to preference is because they are the only piece in the board that can dance and play around. Gameplay wise, bishop could turn useless often times (be it blocked by pawn or not having any piece to attack or defend because of the colour) while knight could always find a way. Sure the bishop can pin pieces, but i find forking to be more useful. + the fact that knights could sneak around more and sometimes eats queen for food (since queen doesn’t move like knights).
Because I like knights a lot, I play the Grand Prix against the Sicilian and the Scotch against ...e5
Los_Tenyos_Krowo, that’s a good one. You prefer the piece that is actually doing something. However, which piece is easier to develop? Which piece is easier to activate? That could be your preferred one.
zzzzzzzz
Dsmith, that’s an awesome response. Have one of each. Maybe I should remember that and apply it more often in my own games! However, it all depends on the position, and you did say that your knight play was stronger; so I guess it depends. Nonetheless, thanks for your input...could you show some of your “thousands of games” where you successfully wielded a bishop and a knight to victory I.e. over a stronger opponent? That would be awesome.
Knight is the king.
Ha Ha, NovaldyFelix! Hungry knights! Thought they just ate fancy food in castles and had mock jousting tournaments! Just kidding...🤪
asoka250, you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo right! But could you add reasons? That would be nice.

Is that some sort of fetish? Are you a pawn fetishist? Kind of like a feet fetish?
Well let me tell you my friend, in a world of jiggly arses and bouncy mammary glands, only the blind chooses the neck! Or was it the Rook?

Knights tend to be better in many of my games because of their closed or semi-closed nature. But I find Bishops easier to use. The # of confusing ways knights can be used in checkmates is just dizzying.
Oi mate you should probably know what type of person I am
The power of a centralized knight.

It depends; in the middle game: Bishops; in the endgame with one 3-pt minor piece each, I like the Knight. Facing one can be a real pain in the neck in endgames.
One more thing; closed position; definitely Knight.
Well put.
I like Checkers
