I like knights because they're the only piece that can jump over other pieces.

I love how knights have such a different way of moving. and i also love how they can jump. overall i think the knight and bioshops are the same, depending on how you use it but they both have advantages and differences in the same way!

well said! I like knights again because of the potential of the way they move.

I hate people who just move their knights around the board constantly looking for a fork and just trying to eat up your time and win by flagging. 

Dirty Flagging in bullet is so fun tho

I seem to recall that GM Larry Kaufman said that computer analysis of a lot of games indicated that Q+B was, on average, slightly better than Q+N.  It was slight, but definite.  

It's true that there are some crazy cool tactics with the Q+N combo, but Q+B often team up to dominate a diagonal.

knights are better in bullet because it's much harder to see a fork than a pin tongue.png

but yes, it is possible for the bishop to be equal to a rook
