Best Answer

Most people would advise to develop the knights first, primarily because they are a shorter range piece than the bishops. Getting the knights out first will let them get onto the other side of the board on their second moves, whereas a bishop has the ability to get to the other side on its first move. However, as you improve your game you will become more comfortable with different openings, some of which develop knights first, some of which develop bishops first, and you may find that you prefer developing your bishops earlier. If you are beginning you probably should start with the knights at first though.

It is possible that a very crude analogy could be made between chess and a family. The king and queen in chess might equate to the father and mother in a family. Older children in a family could be similar to the rooks, the bishops and the knights of chess, and the pawns could be analogous to the small children in a family.
