| Piece Movement |
You start the game of chess with only 1 queen. She is the most powerful piece on the
chess board.
She moves like a rook and a bishop combined. Which means she can move in any
direction.
Queens capture pieces by moving onto the same square as an enemy unit. Queens may
not capture and keep going. They must stop on the square if they captured a piece.
Queens can become easily trapped if your pieces are in its path.
You may have one or more queens by getting your pawns to the other end of the board. If
you have two or more queens is a big plus if your looking to win.
Be careful with your queen, if you loose her you are at a huge lose. The queen should not
be brought out to early. If you choose to bring her out early be careful where you place
her. You should try to keep her on your fourth rank or behind.
One reason she is not so good at the beginning of chess is because your opponent may
choose to attack her with every move made and you will waste a lot of valuable time
moving her while your opponent develops pieces and gains ground. Your opponent
might also find a way to trap her.
Queens are excellent at checkmating and can easily with a king, or rook create
checkmate. She is used in many of sneaky checkmates in chess.
