'The three Knights are therefore complementary to each other in a similar sense to the two Chess Bishops which operate on complementary squares.' <p>Technically incorrect. Each bishop in FIDE chess can eventually reach exactly one half of the board. The King's Lancer and Knights can eventually reach any square on the board; the Queen's Lancer cannot.

The comparison between knights and bishops is in the broad sense only - hence the words 'similar sense'.
