It’s a preview of his full Endgame Renaissance course in which IM Kiewra provides you with valuable guiding principles that will serve you well for years to come.

First, Keaton discusses the key imbalance between Knights and Bishops. The bishop vs. knight imbalance is one of the most significant imbalances in chess. In theory, both pieces are worth 3 points. However, the pieces are very different from one another and have their own strengths and weaknesses.

That’s why it’s important to know in which situations the knight is stronger and in which the bishop is better. Try to use your knowledge of the bishop vs. knight imbalance to steer the position towards a favorable situation.

One of the key advantages of a bishop over a knight is that bishops are long-range pieces. The bishop can quickly move from one side of the board to the other. For this reason, bishops are usually better than knights in endgames with pawns on both sides of the board.

On the other hand, the main disadvantage of a bishop is that it can only travel on one color. Therefore, the knight usually performs better in positions where time is not a factor. In closed positions, for example, the knight has time to outmaneuver the bishop as it can reach every square on the chessboard. A single bishop can only control half of the squares on the board.
