Evolution Of The Queen

How Did The Queen Become so powerful?

The Queen In Chess As We Know Today Is The Most Powerful Piece On The Board, But What Was The Reason For It Becoming So Powerful?

The Queen In The Earliest Version Of Chess - “Chaturanga”, Could Only Move One Step Diagonally On Each Side, Because Of This, It Was The Weakest Piece On The Board Aside The Pawns.

Then Later On, It Became More Powerful As It Could Move Two Steps In Its Diagonals And It Could Even Jump Over Pieces.

But The Biggest Update It Got Was In The 15th Century, After The Rise Of Isabell The 1st Of Castile,

Because Of Her Political Power, People Gave Queen The Moves Of The Bishop And The Rook To Respect Her.
