Do you prefer Knights or Bishops

I feel that knights are more fun to use. Bishops are more of a pain to deal with.

It is always position dependent. At face value I feel like most would prefer a game down a knight rather than a bishop, but that being said a secure knight is one of my favorite pieces

I probably just need to learn how to better position my bishops. I usually trade them off way too soon and often. I'm sure it hurts my overall game...

You will get there if you keep practicing!

For me, end game is better with Knight and middle game with Bishop. However, sometime in the end game the position of Bishop with a Pawn can be a good blockade for the pieces and sometimes. I find it funny that a opponent with a rook can do anything to the two pairs.

Knights never say anything. Bishops will have a friendly chat every now and then.

if endgame is starting then i want bishops and if i am getting an oppo to exchange a bishop for a knight like in this position

here i have exchanged my bishop for knight or if i go to save my bishop my move is wasted i dont care what pieces i have only i should have a piece up from my opponent or equal lol

if I'm down material and a lot of pieces are still on the board then prefer knights, I find I have more opportunities to gain a piece with a fork or some tacitic, if its end game I prefer bishops

Really? Neigh...I don't believe it at all.

 I like Knights because they can attack two pieces at the same time. Bishops aren't as strong unless you have both Bishops.

they are tricky and do more forks

But yes, bishops do pins and skewers which are really useful

bishops because they can move faster than a knight

I love the knights, they are so fun to use on easy levels of computer you can just use your knights and easily knock down the computers whole empire easily

If we are talking about pairs, then bishop pair is way better than a knight pair. If we are talking about a single bishop or a single knight, then knight. Because if I have a bishop and my opponent's pieces are on different coloured squares, then the bishop is pretty much useless.

bishops they can move quicker
