Which is more useful ??
Sort:
Usually it depends, because they both have their own strengths, with knights being able to jump over pieces and bishops having a longer range. But if I had to play a game with one of them removed, I’d play with no knights. Just overall less useful in my opinion.

Personally i would pick knights because u can fork pieces in a move !!
THNX for your opinion cheesegorilla
Np. Knights are also an easy way to get a smothered mate

I try to keep both bishops alive if I can, assuming there are no situations where trading them is obviously advantageous. When both of my bishops survive until the endgame, I usually get quite favorable results from it. They'll nail pieces right off the board when my opponent thinks I blundered, and they can even get unexpected forks or even mates if things turn out right.
If I don't manage to keep both bishops, I'll try to save my knights instead. Both bishops can easily wreak havoc together, but just one bishop usually doesn't provide much help.
