"Complex Tactics" such as bishop versus knight
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:04 am
I know that Bobby Fischer preferred bishop over knights. However, today's top softwares can figure out which one is preferable. I also know that pawn structure plays a huge role in it.
Since there are over a quarter of a million posts, please refer about bishop vs. knight. If you can, use the top 4 softwares in 2011 (Houdini, Rybka, Stockfish, and Critter), for information on these two completely different pieces with the similar amount of points (3 pts. vs. 3.5 pts. on average).
Fen diagrams on when the exchange took place a bishop took a knight or vice versa is what I want to see even if it was a draw. I extremely prefer long time controls at the very least one hour on a 1 GHZ hardware.
Another side note is to have a win/draw/loss on bishop versus knight just like 2 softwares are fighting each other. In other words, does the bishop win more often or the knight? Sounds interesting for a database of this sort.
