The problem is that the Utrecht KnightBishop sucks big time, and looks more like a Knight with a pimple on its nose.

Yes, it is a bad design.

I think this is why people later created the Archbishop image.

I used grep to find each page using archbishop00.gif, archbishop01.gif, archbishop10.gif, or archbishop11.gif, and none used this image for the Knight/Bishop compound. So, it doesn't seem to have been created as a replacement for the KnightBishop image.
