Knight vs. Bishop? Neither rule over each other!

If you, because of short time, miss a fork opportunity that was there nothing happens, the game just goes on. If the opponent puts his pieces in a fork position and you see it, the game is often over or at least you won a whole pawn. So yes, the N is a bit more useful with short time. Its not my conclusion it is master opinion.

Next time cover your mouth while sneezing please. 

"Murderers!...Assassins!..."

And there's red and yellow puppet shreds all over the place. Victory. 

Funny stuff from a teddy bear.

None is good if there is no defense when you are being checkmated. I think I like my pawns better.

Could see that really well from the draw you created out of the thread game. 

ROFLMAO - Preaching to the choir when you basically didn't know s**t?

The time to preach is when you do actually know something more than how to spout garbage from a keyboard, dude!

Nonsense. You draw conclusion from my game? How do you know what was in my plan?

This subject about Knight and Bishop is both boring and interesting. You can be checkmated by either pieces or by any pieces.

And do you know what? I have sacrificed my Rook or my Queen for Knight or Bishop or even a pawn. I don't even care, what their values are according to the book.

In Shogi, there is no Bishop but the one piece that moves simular to a chess bishop is stronger.

What was in your plan, my friend?

The door's on the left, please. 

Bishop consider better than knight because it is long range attacking piece.. its basic. If we want to know which one better must compare in what type of position.. open position bishop clearly stronger but in closed position knight is far supperior. In chinese chess, xiangi.. knight is evaluated stronger compare a piece that move like bishop.

HAHA nice one

Red and yellow (he is orange, but ok) They've seen through it Clifton!

Let me show you buddy. Pls don't argue about knight vs bishop. Well, here is a game. It shows how useless the materials are if you can't win.

Whether you call it "Bishop" or "Angle-runner" - and either is used - is largely immaterial.

Shogi knights are miserably weak - it's more fun when you have one ready to drop.

I find that both pieces have their advantages and drawbacks depending on the opening and position. For example, barring the Marshall Defense in the QGD, Black tends to hold back the c8 Bishop for most of the game either going to d7 or b7 and plays with the Knights which are usually better here but in the Spanish (Closed or exchange), the Bishops pair is a valued asset to Black, especially in the Exchange lines.

Also, pawn structure can determine the strength of the minor pieces. Bishops are generally long range pieces that work best on long diagonals with the central pawn removed and the remaining pawns being on the same or opposite wings and Knights are short range pieces capable of attack and defense at the same time very often, only here they are stronger in closed positions and with locked pawns.

The drawbacks to Bishops are if the pawns are on opposite colors of the Bishop, it basically is a tall pawn (the opponents pawns that is) with Knights, they fall victim to forward pawn moves (the bet defense against KNights is to take away the advance support points with the pawns.

both pieces can cancel each other out as well by being 3 squares away from each other on the same rank or file, though the Bishop gets a small plus here if there are more than 2 squares on the diagonal to hit that the Knight cannot guard.

What I do in games where I have the Bishops is try to get my pawns on the opposite color as my Bishop since if my opponent locks the pawns up, his match to my Bishop and are vulnerable. if the Bishops are opposite colored then I have to keep the pawns on the same color as my Bishop to gain a draw and usually try to advance the pawns on the oposite side to the same color as my opponents Bishop IF the King can assist from the opposite colored squares to advance them. With the Knights, I tend to find ways to support them and use the other pieces and pawns to get squares vacated behind my opponents pawn walls to attack the chain later.

it is interesting to note though that a KNight, Bishop and King in certain positions can actually draw against a lone Queen and King and that a Knight placed behind a Bishop one square to the left or right will cover the 4 squares directly in front of the Bishop, barring a King access to attacking the Bishop. Also, a Queen and Knight in the ending can often be stromger than a Queen and Bishop since the Bishop can do the same job as a Queen but a Knight can hold squares the Queen cannot.

So really position determines more the strengths and weaknesses of the minor pieces more than anything else IMHO.

i have not read this but . Wow!
