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)

But the knight jumps, so it cannot be obstructed This balances out to a knight being slightly less good than a bishop (3 points to the bishop's 3.5)
