Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-02-05  chess man: Obvioulsly the type of endgame where it is better to have a bishop than a knight.
Apr-23-12  screwdriver: White just can't stop the passed pawns of black. And like <chess man> above me said, the bishop is better. It controls all the outposts of the knight.
Sep-23-15  SimplicityRichard: In most endgames, the Bishop is preferable and superior to the Knight, and indeed does the value of the Bishop in comparison to the Knight, increase as more pieces come off the board.#
