Which is the stronger minor piece? Controversy has long reigned over the relative strengths of the bishop and knight. Traditional thinking has been that the bishop excels in open positions whereas the knight is superior in blocked positions. World Champions have differed in their views: Chigorin was a staunch advocate of the knight, while Botvinnik was a master of the raking bishops. Steve Mayer, an experienced American player, researcher, trainer and writer uses practical examples to illustrate positions which favour one minor piece over the other and provides examples to illustrate positions which favour one minor piece over the other and provides the first serious analysis of this longdebated topic.
