    “because in chess the queen is more powerful than the king”

    False statement. If your queen gets captured, you indeed lose a substantial part of your power. But if your king gets captured, you lose the game.

      I wouldn’t say the OP is wrong. The king is definitely the more valuable piece, but doesn’t mean the queen isn’t a more powerful one.

      Weird how you think of the word powerful as how much it affects you if it gets captured.
