i dont know developing a war machine while defending yourself from the invaders eems to hefty for a task; even though real life generals do that everyday for a living

My favorite : the pawns becasue the pawns are the soul of chess like someone said.

I don't know about the least favorite. But it's at least it's not the qeen.

What about the knight ? in some positions, the knight becomes far more powerful for the support of the queen than a rook. I myself sometimes sacrifice my rook for a knight, because knights can penetrate any position, while rooks can't. Plus, rooks can't fork. The revealed checks by knights create some of the nastiest traps in chess. For eg: the checkmate trap in the king's gambit ( my pet opening ).

Pawns a pretty good too - big things from small things grow!

Favourite Piece: Queen- I usually like to attack!

Least Favourite Piece: The Queenside Rook- Paul Morphy used to sack his queenside rook on move 0! It never came to attack.

My favorite piece is on e4 square (or on any other center square).

Least favorite is on h3 square (or on any other remoted square).

Avatar of dennyhan

Marek - so you like any piece that is in the center?

Favorite. The king. It's what matters.

2nd Favorite: What TheBigDecline said.

Least favorite. The bishop. Sometimes I just want two of them on the same-color squares.

Avatar of dennyhan

The king is what matters but really, a sitting duck. I don't really like kings, too

Avatar of dennyhan

Really?? You like pawns better than queens?

Avatar of dennyhan

Well, I guess Pawns can sometimes be stronger than queens

triple passed pawns on 7th rank> Queen + Rook!

Avatar of SoccerMaestro101

Favourite: Knight (because it can jump over pieces and move weird)

Least Favorite: Bishop (because all I see it doing is going up and going down diagnolly)

Avatar of dennyhan

I guess it's because the queen is most powerful and king is the stupid dude who can't defend stuff for his own :D
