It depends on the position, knights can be powerful in a strong position and bishops can be powerful at a strong position, I am saying knights are more annoying and is a little bit better.

yeah knights are trickier than bishops

jo1807

Yeah thats why I like knights best m

Ritheeshchess

its actually the bishop with a rating of 3.35 and Knight 3.0 according to chess engines

But I love to play with knights more

oh thanks for the info

Knights are very good  in close range areas and in centre and they can defend max of 8 squares and are also really good at forks

Bishops are very good on long range diagonals to attack and defend and they are really good in skews(skewing pieces)
