Bishop Fulbert wrote that a knight should always keep in mind what is harmless, safe, honorable, useful, easy, and practicable for his lord.
What he means by harmless is that nothing should be allowed to be physically injurious to his lord; by safe it is that the lord's confidences should be respected and maintained; by honorable it is that the lord's honor be respected; by useful it is that he should not damage the lord's possessions; and by easy or practicable, it is that he not make difficult those things the lord finds easy, or impossible what the lord finds possible.

What does 'bishop protects knight mean?
"Bishop protects knight" suggests that the knight is on the diagonal of one of its bishops. This simply means that the knight could not be taken without then putting the attacking piece into the bishop's path. The bishop isn't actually "protecting" the knight, however; if the knight can be legally taken, then the question becomes, "Is my attacking piece worth more or less than the knight?" If, for example, I'm threatening that knight (3 points) with a pawn (1 point), then I don't care if the bishop is protecting it, because even if the bishop takes my pawn after taking that knight, I'll still be 2 points up in material after the exchange.
