The Knight is best, for two reasons:
1) it is worth less than a Rook or Queen, so it is harder to drive away using threats.
2) the Knight still fights at full effect from behind a Pawn, since it doesn't require open lines the way a Rook or Queen does.

It's knight. Major pieces and queen are worse blockaders

Pawn , knight, bishop, king, rook, queen

ah yes when you opponent advance a pawn in the midgame just put your king infront,no big deal
can't blockade a passed pawn with a pawn.

It would be a bad idea to bring the King to the center in the mid-game but the King can be a great blockader if there are few pieces left on the board. That reminds me of a rapid game that I played a while ago.
Knight
As others have said: it's best to tie down your least valuable pieces, whilst keeping your most valuable pieces active and mobile.
Think about it intuitively: when you blockade with a certain piece, that piece is effectively removed from the game. It's stuck and can't move. So it's like you're playing without that piece.
Which piece would you rather play without? A knight, bishop, rook or queen?
The real answer is pawn
It's all in the position. The opponent's main idea is to remove the blockade and push the pawn.
So a rook does well at long distances where it can't easily be harassed. When the rook teams up with a with a minor piece, the blockade can work for some time, you might even win the pawn if you play well enough.
Bishops are nice because of their ability to cut the pawn down entirely if need be.
Knights are also good, especially with some support behind them. The knights are especially interesting because they pose a threat to the surroundings, so any piece trying to support the pawn push has to watch out for knight forks and so on.
The king is also a good piece to get the job done.
Pawns are the default option.
Hey guys! plz answer the above Question!
