Which piece is the best: Knight or bishop?

I like knights. I do. Are they better than bishops? It doesn't matter to me...bishops come in handy. But, still...I like a couple of unpredictable horseman jumping around the board.
pawns are quite useful too.
No, not "ok". If you believe this then you should read Reassess Your Chess.
Bishops are not always better than knights and knights are not always better than bishops; it all depends on the position. Saying that one is always better than the other is merely a misunderstanding of the basics of positional play.


Chessroshi,you could have not said it better, usually i tend to over value my bishops, i love to use my bishops with my queen for my attacks are less obvious.

Knights are better in closed areas, because they aren't gonfined to either a white or dark square like a bishop. But in open spaces, bishops have nice long range capabilities. But i will say that, for example, a knight and a queen is usually beter than a bishop, because the queen already has the powers of the bishop, but not the knight. hope this helped :)

How big is the board? The bigger the board the better the bishop. If you're talking about that popular 8x8 board, the same thing still applies: how much of the board is open?
This Bishop Vs. Knight question is like asking "Which tool is best?"
Well, tell me what the job is first. Then you can find the best tool for the situation.

not to mention the end position when white plays h6 the ending is totally drawn, as you could see there was no way to force the king out of the corner, so you promoted anyway, and then instead of taking the queen, for a draw, black just ignores it. Black also could have taken this pawn before it even promoted with 23...Kxh7.
You really need to stop relying on your opponent falling for cheap tricks. Until you do, it's hard to learn anything else, because what people say wont make sense. For example i once played against a beginner who kept setting up one or two move mating threats maybe thinking i'd miss one eventually. One such threat was mate in 1 if i missed it, or, if i didnt miss it, i could defend against it and force the win of his rook. Because he was relying on me falling for a trick, it was really hard after the game to show him that he had played a bad move that lost him the rook, and the game, because he just saw that it threatened mate in 1.
