His bishop was strong the whole game but ended up blocking his rook. A bishop in the middle of the board is pretty powerful. Mine saved the a pawn from promoting and from my king getting checked on the h file for quite a while. His was annoying protecting his f pawn and taking spots from my rook. ---

> [@NicksCafe](#): > > Thinki thinks knights suck. I guess he’s wrong. thinki never said that;) its just a general rule that knights are better in closed positions and bishops better in open positions but it all depends on what is on the board as your previous game and your current screenshot shows; if your opponent blunders or wants to give away the game nothing really matters ---
