The same problem for Queen gives the result 8.
I tried knight move to avoid other Queens.

As bishops in the black squares don't attack the bishops on the white squares so, we can count at most how many bishops we can place on the white squares and then double the number to get the total.
Now, lets divide the chess board into 8 white diagonals. We can place 8 bishops in those but we can't put two of them on the same long diagonal so we can put at most 7 bishops on the white squares and which is possible so we can put at most 7*2=14 bishops

The same problem of $ROOK$ gives the result $8$ .
I placed the $ROOKS$ diagonally.
