Which would be stronger, a chess side with a back row of all rooks or a chess side with a back row of all bishops

A single rook is capable of reaching any space on the board, and the "distance" when unobstructed is never more than two moves A single bishop is completely barred from ever reaching any square with a different color than the one it started on

That said, while the bishop can only reach half the board, it can also reach any square in its half of the board in two moves when unobstructed On the other hand, the knight can reach any square eventually but this may take a long time (the subject of the "Knight's Tour" puzzle)
