Knight is the most powerful piece. 1 Knight > 24 Queens
Most powerful piece
Sort:
Winning
Under the right circumstances 3 passed pawns are more valuable than the queen. When the pawns promote they can mean the difference between losing and winning. Some chess grandmaster (i forgot their name!) said thats pawns are the most valuable piece.
In my opinion, 3 passed pawns are more valuable than one queen.
queen
@OurFastestFox 1.Qgxe7+ Qxe7 2.Qdxe7+ Nxe7 3.Qexe7# is forced and Black's knight gets brutally murdered in the process. So you could also say 1 Knight < 24 Queens lol

Unless you see that 1. Nxg7# mates in one and leaves Black's rook hanging. Do you see a way to mate in one with those 24 queens, and leave a rook hanging? Also, the murdered knight was just taking one for the team and letting the king live a little longer, therefore making it the MVP of the black army.

Check is a move, PERSON!
Are you sure about that?
See that? That is Check, being the most powerful piece. Can your queen do that?

No offense but the king is garbage in the power category. Besides, he is the most vulnerable piece in the game. He can only move one square.

I think the queen is the most strongest piece on the board considering that is can move a lot of spaces.

True, however I don't think it's a board piece you can actually touch.
Wilhelm Steinitz, the ancient Austrian World Champ would say it is the King.

Honestly I would say a bishop pair if that is a valid answer
Yeah that’s valid. Did you see my post about three passed pawns.
Knights are situational queens

Wait, you're right! 
Checkmate is even more powerful than check! It can even jump over pieces! This guy is a genius.
