I think rook then knight
Which chess piece do you think is the strongest (after the queen)?
Sort:
Also passed pawns
Rook
A promoted queen
Also, it's heavily positional. A pawn can be worth way more than a queen given the position

Let's set every piece one after another on the center (e4)
At center, Queen has 27 moves, Rook has 14 moves, Bishop has 13 moves, Knight and King has 8 moves and pawn has 1 move.
Therefore, Here is the order: Q>R>B>N>K>P
1) Queen
2) Rook
3) Bishop
4) Knight
[Bishops and Knights are sometimes considered of equal values (but I disagree)]
5) King
6) Pawn
So, according to this, Rook is the next strongest piece after Queen.
Technically, the pawn could have anywhere from 0 to 3 moves.
Put anything, White or Black, on e5 and it has 0 moves.
Put anything on e5 and anything Black other than the king on d5 and f5 OR put anything black but the king on d5 or f5 but not both and leave e5 unoccupied and it has 2 moves.
Put anything black other than the king on both d5 and f5 and leave e5 unoccupied and it has 3 moves.
The e2 pawn has four moves

Queen is long term better
Long term- I completely agree, but when a pawn can turn into a queen and capture something without getting captured after that, then pawn is better.
it the rook
Da ruk
The valuation of the pieces speak for themselves, but I would argue that the knight is the most dangerous piece after the queen in low elo chess (<1100/1200). It's much harder to see their movement patterns. A rook is powerful, but much easier to understand and therefore easier to defend against (or use). Same for a bishop. But a knight, that can hop around all over the place, making it very difficult to attack as a defender, because it's difficult to spot its next move. Making it also a psychologically difficult piece to play against, and powerful to play with. Again, this is low elo chess. I think anything 1100-1200 plus it is just the rook.
