Personally I prefer the bishop pair as bishop's tend to be pretty good at restricting my opponent's moves.
Would you rather have a strong bishop pair or a strong knight outpost?

Hmm unless you mean 2 strong knight outposts or the strong bishop pair. In that case the bishops under most circumstances, as most often I can just trade my bishops off for the knights at worst case scenario, while in the best I win because of my bishops. However sometimes it is impossible to trade the knights off or if I do I will lose and so in those cases I guess it really depends on what the knights and bishops are doing in the position.

1. If the position is semi-closed or completely closed, I'll take the knight on the outpost
2. If the position is open, I'll take a strong bishop pair.

Really comes down to open vs. closed game and how many pieces are left. The more major pieces my opponent has left the more I like having the knight on an outpost.

This comment is more for entertainment than education but I think it depends on the piece accuracy of your bishop pair vs how good you are with your knight or knights... Personally I don't consider myself accurate with either and I probably would have sacrificed one of the bishops and a knight before endgame

It really depends on the position, but I prefer Knight outposts. He can control many squares in the opponent's position.

i know that theoretically bishop are worth 3.15 so they are better in the longrun, but i'm not stockfish nor a top 50 player so i prefer the outposts cause knights are tricky and cooler to use. It doesn't matter what's slightly better if you blunder a king and pawn endgame anyway

Bishop pairs tend to be worth more as your elo increases. "Knights are tricky b*st*rds" - is a common saying, especially because early on, players tend to miss simple captures and tactics with the knight.

1. If the position is semi-closed or completely closed, I'll take the knight on the outpost
2. If the position is open, I'll take a strong bishop pair.

Hey everyone! As part of my Winter Blunderland series on Youtube, I am posting a question every day in December. Today's question: Would you rather have a strong bishop pair or a strong knight outpost?
I've heard that having a bishop pair in the end game is very powerful, but I've found that an outpost can be more satisfying as I tend to always look for tactics that that involved sacrificing my knight (even though I don't think I should.... it's just pretty satisfying.)
I can't really remember many times where I actually got to use the bishop pair, so I thought I'd ask the group.
Thanks again for your support on my journey!
