What's more valuable rook or bishop?

Precisely :)

what is this! is this rook vs bishop or knight vs bishops i can't tell.

Oh man, my apologies. I took the thread as bishop vs knight.

Rooks are undoubtedly more valuable than bishops. They are considered worth 5 rather than 3 for a reason...namely because rooks can touch all squares and bishops are limited by color.

What's more valuable? A pair or rooks or a pair of bishops plus 2000 extra dollars in your pocket and a stripper girlfriend sitting in your lap?

I forgot to tell it's a rainy day and the pair of rooks come with an umbrella.

This thread made my head hurt

#13 correct
#14 the latter
#15 rain is good
#16 don't read it then

It was so unbelievable that someone could have a doubt between which is more valuable, rook or bishop (if so, no offence!), that everybody assumed the thread was about bishop vs knight... =P
Anyway, a rook can move in two different ways: horizontally and vertically; a bishop can only move diagonally. A rook can operate in both colours; a bishop is limited by one colour only... So, surely, a rook is better than a bishop! :-)

Yes

Womble took the words out of my mouth.
