any piece as long as its an extra one

the pawn..even though I really don't know how to use them...they have the most promise and potential.  Seems like many of those high level games are decided on who has the extra pawn.

Ditto.

Everyone knows Philador said, "Pawns are the soul of chess."

And in shogi literature there is a book titled "It All Starts with a Pawn".

And about xiangqi, Sam Sloan wrote: "Without pawns it is generally impossible to win."

I'll take their word for it.

Knights

Definitely Knights, forget the rest give me a full set of Knights.

Knights for sure

Avatar of OMGdidIrealyjustsact

The 4 bishops would win in that situation, but only because bishops work well together and not because of innate superiority.

I like bishops and rooks!

Avatar of onosson

Bishops over knights slightly, because of their long-distance range.

I like the bishops. They are sneaky.

Rooks. One reason is that a rook is the only piece(other than a queen) that can get checkmate with the only assistance coming from a king. It is impossible for a knight, bishop or pawn

Funny that I don't see bishops as sneaky at all. In fact, in an endgame if my opponent has only one minor piece...I'd prefer it be a bishop to a knight.  Knights freak me out with their potential forking two moves later if you don't keep careful watch.

I like knights. However, pawns have the potential to promote.
