The Bishop is a long-range piece and its advantage over the Knight is mostly seen in open and sometimes semi-open positions. In the endgame, the Bishop pair is particularly superior in positions with pawns on both sides of the board. Placed in the center of a board, a Bishop can simply cover more squares than a Knight. A Bishop may perform both attacking and defending functions, while being far away from a target. The main rule you always have to remember: the Bishop Pair is a serious advantage (especially in endgame). If you the bishop pair, try to open the position. And if your opponent has it, try to close the position.
