I know it depends on the position but what piece do you prefer. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

I suspect asking several actresses (if we are allowed to use that term) will provide the responses you seek.Derek Sinclair wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:04 pmI know it depends on the position but what piece do you prefer.![]()

Which minor piece do you, other things being equal, prefer?

Is this regardless of the position and / or pawn structure?

A Bishop. I would guess that 75% would be the same. Those that favour Knights are probably either right tricky customers
or else someone who prefers to aim for stodgy blocked positions where a Knight rules supreme !

Maybe knight as I play the Nimzo and sometimes the Tromp but it all depends on the position.

If you play the Veresov and the Chigorin (as I do) then you have to love the knight

Fischer played the Exchange Ruy Lopez regularly, but also liked his Bishops more generally.
