Also, have you ever seen a bishop fork or skewer?
have you EVER seen a knight skewer?????????????
that's literally impossible both because they don't move in a straight line and because they can leap :/
ooh good point
depends on the position
knights can be cool when they fork pieces and bishops can be cool when they sac

Bishops commonly fork and skewer, and again, knights can't skewer.

But knights are notorious for nasty forks.
Bishop = Open Positions
Knight = Closed Positions
There's your answer (Disclaimer: only works in endgames)
The principle you have mentioned in other phases of the game as well, not just the endgame.
bishop is worse than rook but better than knihgt
so maybe 3.2
Knight is notorious for forks in time trouble.
knights because of how they can cause destruction in the simplest moves whilst bishops take some time to settle in to a strong position. Still, don't underestimate that deadly bishop once and again

Bishops were considered 3.1 or 3.15 and knights about 2.8 but knights are dual colour and hence equal to bishops, depending on board position of course. A pair of bishops might be 6.7 or 6.8. A rook in a cramped position could be 4 rather than 5.
very true. not every piece of the same variety is truly equal
I prefer bishops, because its harder to see if the bishop is attacking any peace because it goes in diagonals. Also knights are more important in the endgame, while bishops can be used in the opening and in whole game.
Bishops. They control more squares, and move faster than knights.
bishops do not control more squares. Bishops can, at most, potentially control 32 squares. A knight can control 64 squares. Maybe you mean how many each can control at one time, not throughout the game.
