I know it depends on the position but what piece do you prefer.

I suspect asking several actresses (if we are allowed to use that term) will provide the responses you seek.

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

Knight

Knight

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

Bishop, in general.

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 !

Bishop.

Knight.

Andy nailed it.

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

Anand likes his knights its often been said.

I guess that finishes that debate, Nick

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.

Without thinking about it too much... are you a bishop or a knight person?
