I kinda disagree. Don't forget about diagonal X out. So Rook and bishop = almost queen. Well. Here I am not talking about knight. 

Why don't you choose 9 queens then?

Hi all.. 
few people asked me about this and all believe it's the rook..
I was planning to ask y'all about this..
what do you think? I think every piece has it's importance but umm .I need an answer

Yeah, that's a really hard question. I know the standard values are 1, 3, 3, 5, 9, but I can't remember which one of those numbers is larger or smaller.

Rook for sure

Knights/bishop are pretty equal value for me personally. I do not mind trading either one for another

The bishop pair.

in an end game, I prefer a knight than a bishop, the knight can go on 64 position, the bishop only 32

to answer the question like it is asked without a doubt the rook

But the bishop can control from far

the bishop pair

It really depends on the position, but generally i would say rook: you can mate with king and rook but not with king and bishop or knight alone

chancellor

Easy, Rook. The rook can move side to side and up and down.

He can touch both colors. Unlike the bishop.

Also, Bishop pair isn’t a piece, and chancellor is a fairy chess piece combo. It’s not real.

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.
    
    

no its king, queen, pawn, rook, bishop, knight

I too disagree

I personally think the knight is the best (after queen) since it moves like no other piece the ways it can be used are endless

Avatar of G_Nandan_9

yes, but rook is powerful next to queen because we can checkmate with on rook but not with one knight

Avatar of saetta1000

The KING 👑 .Because it can move in all directions .So it is hard to checkmate
