As you grow better, you'll learn it depends totally on the position.

Usually, bishops are given slight preference over knights; the reason is simple enough - bishops are generally better in open games, knights in closed games.

But it is much more likely that a closed game will become at some point open, whereas it is almost impossible for an open game to become closed.

i disagree in end games knights spelt correctly this time are far more versitile peices and bishops are reduced to being extra moblie pawns the advantage of the two bishops is that one can be exchanged for a knight
