The queen and the knight have very different capabilities. From the same square they attack completely different sets of squares. For that reason they complement each other wonderfully well. It is very simple to coordinate their efforts; indeed it often happens automatically when we attack a particular square with both pieces. These pieces are particularly dangerous when they are attacking, although the nimble knight must first make its way to a good position close to the opposing king. The fine coordination of queen and knight often makes this duo stronger than a queen and bishop.
