Bishop vs Knight

Bishops and knights have their own unique set of powers, a bishop is a long-range piece, and a knight isn’t. A knight can attack on any square on the board, while a bishop is stuck forever on whatever color square it starts on. While knights can leap across the board in a single bound, bishops can only move in straight lines.
