This topic, BN+RN, was to critique Carreran Centaur and Champion, same as Capablanca Archbishop and Chancellor, same as Cardinal and Marshall. The demonstration boards of weird positions caused by them need to be reformatted. They are still so popular that Seirawan Chess uses them on 64 the way Betza and Cohen did in 1970s Tutti-Frutti. H.G. Muller calls Centaur the best fairy piece of all because of "synergy between Bishop and Knight."
