Bishop or Knight?
Sort:
Knights definitely
Knight are way better
I like knights mostly because of how flexible they are. You don't need to open up a lane to use them.

at the same time, knights are predictable, you can see where they can go and they have to be really close to attack anything. You are right, but I just think they have better attack patterns.

Well, you still need to secure good outposts for them to be effective, though.

In bullet the knight is better since you opponent takes longer to figure out all the options

True. I guess I just like the tactical play.
Okay i read all the comments I think I have read enough opinions xD
Bobby Fischer says that a bishop is slightly more than a knight, 3.25 points rather than 3
i would say stop arguing a knight is 1000.11 while a bishop is 0.12

no, that makes you choke. How to get drunk? Knock yourself out with a chair and you'll experience the same hangover.(i wouldn't know, im underage as well)
Knights scare me for the amount of unseen damage they can do in just one or two moves. When playing a skilled opponent, I would gladly sacrifice my bishop for his knight.

I've read an article about chess pieces of old. Apparently the Bishop was the Elephant, back when chess was created in India.
An Elephant is so much nicer than a Bishop, and less creepy. Sugestion to chess.com: Create an option to play with an Elephant instead of a Bishop, same range, same piece, but different model. Put your graphic artists to work on it, and something good will happen this year!
Of course, In different situations it Varys. Although one benifit of knights is how much more space they can control.
Opponents knights have demons - this is why I wipe them out at any cost
Bishops> knight open posi. knight> bishop close pos.
