I heard that opinion about R+B vs R+N and Q+N vs Q+B but based on my experience I doubt if it is correct. I also read in kapablanca's book that positions like the following is a clear advantage for white but when I tried comp-comp games I did not get clear advantage for white(I am not sure if it is the exact position but the idea is clear) [D]1n2k3/ppp3p1/8/8/8/8/1P3PPP/2B1K3 w - - 0 1 Here is a possible experiment 1)try this position in comp-comp games to find which side is better. 2)add rooks at h1 h8 and try the position again to see if rooks realy help white 3)add queens at h1 h8 to see if queens help black. 4)add pawns at a2 c2 h7 f7 to see if they help black and repeat 2 and 3.
