what is the best chess piece. what is the best tactical use and the best powerhouse options? is it A. queen B. rook C. bishop D. knight E. king F.all of the above

I personally think it is F. Because you can't play without a king, but the game is almost impossible with any of these pieces...

But if anyone reading this wants a choice I say king... if he's threatened the game ends

Knights are easy to be tactical with at the lower elo's especially when they are close together, connected and near the enemy king or powerful pieces such as queens or rooks.

Yes i would agree that the knight is insanely good at tactica early game, and at lower elos... but the problem with the knight is that it is easy to trap, as long as they are willing to trade... another case I'd like to point out is that the knight switchs colors up all the time, ex white square to black square, but it would be easy to trap because a well placed bishop takes out half the strategies... therefore is the knight all that good? Or would it be a combination with multiple pieces that make it good

Even at my elo, people fall for basic knight tactics lol. Gotta love knights

Fair enough... the tactics can be simple to extreme, and can be used alot of the time... also to the pawn I guess that would work as the most tactical piece... the use of the promotion, and that two of the three specials are pawn moves, the third being 🏰 ing. But yah the pawn could be a very interesting piece, from SHAPESHIFTING to killing with the tripping of your enemies, aka en passent.
