Can bishops be knighted?

Warning! Show off post!

I'm not publishing it because it's beautiful, or to show how lucky I was. I show it so that you'll all be impressed and will know for fact, what a genius I am.

(In my opinion, the bishop is to be knighted for it has almost supported both rooks).

I'm expecting everyone who's reading this (=both of you) to give a horse-icon - I've earned it fairly.

And a Paladin is the opposite. How can an arrow-tower be knighted is beyond me.

You are wrong.
There's no White piece on d1 square on 23rd move. You have misunderstood the notation.
23. Nxd4 Bxe2 24. Ng6+ (fork) Kg8 25. Nxf8 Nxf8 26. Rxe2 and position is well even.

There is a rook on d1 I guess? Check #1

Buddy I am talking about White's 23rd move where he played Rd1. I am talking about playing Nxh3 instead of Rd1 which actually happened in the game.
