Hot question: Which piece in chess is more important? The bishop or the knight?

[I.Devastation 2,053]

Depends on the situation, but overall probably bishop

[zaintahir 458]

i like chess and i am noob at it (like tanki -_-) but i think knight is better seeing that the moves knight gives you,bishop is like the upgraded version of the pawns xD

[Penguin40 1,714]

Bishop. tho in Tanki Chess, Knight is probably more important. If you are wondering what is Tanki Chess, it's a chess game based on Tanki made by me.

The Bishop is way more important to me when I play, I generally make use of both to severely limit the moves my opponent can make on the other side of the board where possible. They're like sniping pieces, always useful...

 

Not that I play that much, but yeah ^_^

Knight is more valuable in the early game, Bishop is more valuable in the late game.  This is due to the Bishop being restricted by other pieces early on while the knight can jump over other pieces, but as the game goes on, the field opens up, making the Bishop more effective.

[Erty1235_tanki 44]

Knights even though they have less range than bishops they are more versatile. :) Though one piece will become more important than the other in different circumstances as the game progresses. :)

bishop

 

but really to me the QUEEN is always the more important one !!!

[PhantomFlanFlinger 220]

its always bishops both have their roles but bishops are more powerful in chess ( got to second table in county league)

[TriNitroToIuene 4,765]

Yeah, I don't play chess much, but when I do, I end up getting pwned if I use my Knight too much..... bishop is better IMO, as your movements leave you less vulnerable to attacks.

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

Kinght, cause you can check the king without your cover being blown to smithereeens

[asifmehmood 1,576]

Bishop

[Zenyth 6,494]

Knight

It requires a serious competitor. 

[personia 4,036]

It completely depends on how the game is played, who you are playing, and how you play. It also depends on how the game goes. 

 

Personally, I like horses more, but you can't do a four move check mate with your horse, can you? :P

[canadian_tank 226]

Knight, nothing moves quite like it

[austlee 56]

The knight; there's no better feeling then when you have forked your opponents' king and queen, and the only thing your opponent can do is move the king, and then you get the opponents queen. However, in the very beginning of the game, it is possible with your bishops to take out the opponents rooks if they're not careful. Nevertheless, I still think the knight is more valuable.

It is all in the situation.

[The.Skilled.Legend 1,459]

I see why I was challenged by ye old Yisroel 

[The-Operator219 1,929]

To the cold-hearted strategist, all of them are equally important.

With the king being high priority, I usually use Bishops as meatshields.

Knights just have more practical use to me.
