Would you rather have a strong bishop pair or a strong knight outpost?

Knight outpost cuz I have more insight on outposts. Bishop pair is also good since I often have open positions.

I'm happiest when I have at least one bishop and my opponent at most one, and knight outposts are usually easier to get rid of. Bishop pair, for certain.

I love knight outposts, and oftentimes I use them to turn around a bad-looking game. Here's a game where I played pretty poorly but was able to turn things around with an extremely strong knight and supporting bishop.

Sttong pair of Bishops are better than 1 knight
