Mar-22-13		cormier: <In reality, I think the two bishops' inherent advantage is much greater than his(Hendrix) or even my(Watson) figures. <That's because experienced players, and especially strong ones, tend to allow their opponents the bishop pair versus their knight pair mainly when they have a serious compensating advantage, e.g., outposts, a big lead in development, a clearly superior pawn structure, and/or more space. <I can't prove that statement without further research, but if you think about the various openings in which one side voluntarily takes on the knights, you'll see what I mean. <So on a neutral playing field (other positional and tactical factors being equal), I would suggest that the bishop pair has a large advantage indeed. <Of course, that's still only an opinion until someone does the grunt work of examining large numbers of positions with this material imbalance.>>>>>
