I consider bishop can price 4 pawns in certain positions.
If you have + 1 bishop,
YOU HAVE +3.
If you have + 2 bishops on one-colored squares,
YOU HAVE +6.
If you have + 2 bishops on different-colored squares,
YOU HAVE +8,
because you control all board on diagonals.
If you have + 1 bishop & 1 knight,
YOU HAVE +6.
If you have + 1 archbishop/hawk/princess/cardinal (B+N)
YOU HAVE +7,
because bishop can reach all squares.
If you have + 1 bishop
And opponent has + 1 knight,
YOU HAVE -1,
because
Although the Knight is generally considered to be on a par with the Bishop in strength, the latter piece is somewhat stronger in the majority of cases in which they are opposed to each other.
Jose Capablanca.
(And archbishop is from Capablanca’s chess;)
But you can’t give checkmate to your opponent with only + two knights.
Bishop is stronger than you can imagine.
Knight is strong too, and he is stronger when you have two knights on different sides of board, or board is smaller;)
Elephant from Shako chess can price as bishop.
It’s very interesting...
