The queen. Such an overpowered piece. However in the first game of chess, the queen behaved and moved as the king. In fact it was a male vizier. The Europeans were the ones who gave it such power and respect. The original queen could only go one step in any direction, just like the king today. So back the, the queen was just an overpowered pawn.
It's just a theory, please don't judge.
I did my research.
