In the time Philidor said that the pawns are the soul (skeleton) of chess I now say he was only partialy right. I want to improve this statement by saying pawns and knight are the soul of chess After I made my setup for a chessmaster personelety I went up giving the knight a higher valeu then the bischop. with this reason that it will use his knight more often and also makes strong squares for it The Bischop only is stronger in the very end of the endgame but in all other stages of the game the knight play a much bigger role in the game then the bischop that means about 80% of the game the knight plays a bigger role or you should play like a morphy stylist and brake open lines by doubeling pawns only then the bischop plays a bigger role in the 100% of the game but this is a hard style to folow and is very risky. Just think about it.
