Session # 19
BISHOP STRONGER THAN THE KNIGHT AND VICE VERSA
Today we look into the theory that the bishop can stronger than the
knight in certain position and that the knight is stronger than the
bishop in other position. In a closed position (a position where there
are a lot of pawns and movement becomes difficult) , the knight are
stronger than the bishops because the knight can jump over pieces and
the bishop is restricted in its movement. On the other hand, when we
have an open position ( the opposite of the closed position, so a position
where movement is easy and there are not a lot of piece in the way to
restrict movement, The bishops are stronger because it can cover greater
distance than the knight and the knight is taken its advantage of being
able to jump over pieces in closed position away from him.
Knowing this, our focus should be to exchange our knights against the
enemy's bishop in opened position and to exchange our bishop against
knights in closed position. We want to give up a weaker piece against
a stronger piece. Also it is only logical to try and keep our strong
piece depending on the position, because remember to always take into
account that your opponent knows everything that you do and more, so
he will try to exchange those weak pieces for you strong pieces just
like you.
In this position knights are stronger than bishops because it is a closed
game. For white it would be good to capture the knight with their bishop.
Here bishops are stronger than knights because it is an opened position.
