Open Position

Bishops vs Knights

In open positions (pawn structures are not locking up the middle), bishops are generally better due to their mobility!

BALANCE

It is important to understand the values of the knights vs bishops and how the worth can change depending on the board position!

Closed Position

Bishops vs Knights

In closed positions (pawn structures are locking up the middle), knights are generally better because they can jump over pieces! The pawns block the mobility of the bishops.
