Bishop vs Knight - Which one do you prefer?

The knight, for me, anthropomorphises chess, and is the soul of my army. I love the knight dearly. However, the bishop is just slightly stronger :P

Bishop is stronger piece, but I will prefer knight.

Knight for bullet time scrambles, they are much trickier. Bishops in longer games. And of course, it depends on the position.

Bishops are generally a bit stronger than knights as they can control up to 13 squares while knights only 8 and bishops can also transfer to both sides of the board very quickly while knights can't; also we all know how good 2 bishops are. However, the strength of a bishop is on average higher that that one of a knight only about half a point because bishops have big disadvantage of being able to go only on one color. In endgames, with both wings having pawns, bishops are better, but if pawns are only on one wing they arent better than knights and maybe even weaker, like e.g. pawns are only on queenside and all of them are blocked, and white pawn chain are all on dark squares and white has a dark squared bishop. In these kind of positions white could maybe even be lost.

Knights when I feel like Tal.
Bishops when I feel like Karpov.

Blunder a piece when I feel like myself.

^^lol

Im also voting for the bishop.

An interesting book about that subject is 'Bishop v Knight: the verdict' by Mayer. For example, did you know how to change the color of a bishop? Or what an overrated bishop/knight is?

"Recently I heard Hansen say, "bishops are great even from their starting position" and demonstrated it."

What about this "big game" game played in GER? Look at the end, both bishops had not moved. :D

Ponies haha ;)
