Favorite Piece/ Piece Combination

Do you have a favorite piece or combination? I myself attack quite a bit with a queen and rook, along with a pawn or two. If you have any piece combinations that you like, please write them down!

Often a bishop and a knight are likeable, especially in the opening

I think you know mine Stan, the Knight since it's such an unusual movement you can get two power pieces or a power piece and the king trapped pretty easily and the opponenet has to choose one of course if the king is involved they have thoose the king.  Either way it's a win.

I like Bishops, I think you can launch a devastating attack with Bishops, specially if you're playing Blitz and both players make a lot of mistakes

That checkmate against GR was really cool!

Those are some of the best wins I believe.

 A bishop and queen is delicious. Check out this game I played against an NM.

 Uh, you had 55 seconds left. Wouldn't call that an "Almost lost on time" with four queens lol. That's enough time for a whole bullet game!

I like rook+knight because you can do the Arabian Mate or even get a windmill

Windmill is typically rook and bishop. Looks something like this...

The bishop(s).

They can be very fun to use, I've had a couple really good games using them!
