In this forum, please post your favourite and/or least favourite piece on the chess board. Have fun :)

My favourite piece is the knight, because it is very tricky and often my opponents slip up and miss a winning knight fork.

My least favourite is the bishop, becuase often in my games it becomes a idle dooshbag who sits around and does nothing

My favourite piece is the knight, precisely because of its tricky potential that you mentioned. It is also my least favourite piece, because I tend to over-estimate the aforesaid potential, leading to inconvenience and disappointment. It is a love-hate relationship.

Least Favourite: King ( i  hate protecting it allthe time while it does nothing and just sit in the corner watching everything)

My favourite piece has to be the bishop - preferable both. I just find it unusually potent. My least favourite piece - my opponent's knight. That guy just needs to get lost.

What? You hate your Queen? But it is the most powerful piece on the board!

Favorite: King - A great attacking piece.

Least Favorite: Q-side Rook. - Sits dormant for far too long, then when he gets in the game, he is useless until everything else has been taken off the board.

I play offensively so bear with my opinion please!

Favourite: Queen, she is a very versatile offensive unit.

Least Favourite: Pawn, for an offensive player such as myself, I find that these guys get in my way alot.

I'm so surprised to see how many share my antipathy toward the queen ... imo she's overpowered and I'm happy to get both of them off the board ASAP.

My favorite is the rook. It's like a tank.

You will understand it at master level chess ;)

you sounds like a defensive player to me then... the queen has the vibe to her that makes you want to attack right away haha

while the rook is like a tank, it takes too damned long to build their true potential.

That's why you need to raise your kingdom's defense budget, to accelerate production speed!! (castling)
