Hi all,

 

In your opinion which is best?  Or does it depend on the situation?

Depends on the situation.  Generally, the Bishop since its range is greater, especially the fewer pawns there are.  However, below is an example of when the Knight is clearly better.

Sweet, that's what I thought, liking the example, that is pretty extreme, but i see your point!

 

Thanks for the reply.
