In an AVERAGE game situation/set up in chess, would you rather have....

  • 2 Rooks or 1 queen? / Vice Versa                     Why?
  • 3 Minor pieces or 2 rooks? / Vice Versa            Why?
  • 3 pawns or a minor piece? / Vice Versa            Why?
  • 2 Minor pieces or a rook? / Vice Versa              Why?

Now, for those who can't fathom imagining an average set up...what would you rather have in the start of a match? Or how about in the Endgame? Any situations in particular where you would want one set of pieces more then the other?

Thanks ahead of time for those that respond to this -- and for those critics out there, please try to restrain your criticism of this question to a minimum. Laughing
