What is the "queen"?

The queen is the most powerful piece in chess. It combines the movement abilities of both the rook and the bishop, meaning it can move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. This versatility allows the queen to cover a large part of the board and makes it a key piece in both attacking and defending. The queen starts next to the king on the board and is often used in strategic moves to control the center of the game. Due to its strength, losing the queen is often a significant setback in a chess game.
