The bishop is a worse queen, however the knight has a very unique move pattern and is the best piece for beginners to fork with

The most powerful piece is the queen, no question about it.
The knight and queen can be more or less useful in certain positions, but that is positional usefulness.
The queen is the most *power*ful
(Power is supposed to be bold)

Technically a bishop could be more useful than a queen bc of stalemate.
The Queen is definitely the most powerful piece on the board because it has the combined power of the Rook and Bishop. So i would say Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, and then Pawn. King doesn't really count as a power because, the King is not Generally used to take down pieces.

Yeah its obvious that QUEEN is the most powerful piece in chess, but let have a closer look. Sometime I realizes that KNIGHT is more powerful or useful than QUEEN as it can jump over pieces and can checkmate at complicated situations. Do you agree with it or the most powerful piece depends on how you played it?🤔
it depends on the situation if any piece is the best.
I think the bishop or rook can be the most powerful piece.
