Hello everyone! This is DarkPilot0407_Chess Club! Welcome! We'll be discussing which is better, a queen or two rooks. There are some statements for you, so don't forget to leave without a comment down below! 1) In World Champ Jose Capablanca's book Chess Fundamentals - the origin of the "Reinfeld Values" for the pieces - he writes: Two Rooks are slightly stronger than a Queen. They are slightly weaker than two Knights and a Bishop, and a little more so than two Bishops and a Knight. The power of the Knight decreases as the pieces arechanged off. The power of the Rook, on the contrary, increases.2) Queen can travel diagonally, straight and works good at fork and skewer. 3) Rooks could only travel in straight line4) Rooks help pawns to promote in endgame, they also help the king to castle at a safer place. On the contrary, it also gives support to bishop and knights, it gives better protection for them. 5) For Queen, it is normally more special than other pieces. It has the ability of bishop and rook. However, the score for rook is 5 and two rooks equal to 10. A Queen is worth only 9 points. Therefore, we suggest that both the pieces are equal equal. Understand the article now? COMMENT DOWN BELOW!
