What if the Queen were a combined power of Knight and Rook

I also got the idea that maybe the bishops value will increase since it would be the piece able to pin and move as many squares on a diagonal as it wants 

QueenCon

and maybe the knight's value would go down

Here are pretty much all the additional pieces you can add to your chess set. You use to be able to buy and Omega chess (Made by a different company) which uses two additional pieces besides these and has a 10x10 board. I have one along with several of these Musketeer sets and absolutely love them. 

The piece that you mentioned would not combine a queen and Knight, that would be an " Amazon" or, as Musketeer chess sells it,  a "Dragon". I think what you ment to say was chancellor maybe? Or maybe you are saying remove the queend all together and replace it with a chancellor = Rook and Knight combined. I personally wouldn't like that at all but you could totally changel the rules with friends to whatever you would like. It would seem very unbalanced and like something was missing. Adding a "chancellor" and "archbishop" (bishop and Knight combined" is very fun Imo and keeps a balance. Check out the link. Those pieces along with many other are pretty sweet additions.

yeah, yeah, and a piece that could move like any other piece would be an Incredible Hulk.

@balashukla0761: my gut feeling say that in *Capablanca Chess* if you already have one queen on the board, it might be advantageous to promote pawn to an chancellor (rook+knight) simply because multiple queens are often redundant. 

 

In classical chess Viktor Kortschnoi acknowledged that multiple queens on a crowded board tend get in each other way and thus is not worth the same as by counting material. 

 

Since Capablanca Chess is played on wider board, the redundancy is reduced but still present.
