My head says the rook but my heart says the knight.
Which chess piece do you think is the strongest (after the queen)?

After the Queen? A Pawn is worth one, it advances down the board to promote: 1+9=10, then you double that cos this Queen is more dangerous in the ending: 10+10=20, and you add another 6 cos it often Mates: 20+6=26. Round that out and you get 30, followed closely by the Queen(9).
To me, it is THE PAWN!!!!!!!
In my game where 1 pawn decided everything

Rook, then I think bishop because you can checkmate with 2 bishops but not 2 knights.
da rook is my favorite
It's obviously the rook.
A piece is always stronger where you would have the option to sacrifice it for a lesser piece.
that's very true

Typically the rook, but it depends on how active or inactive pieces are on the board. A rook that is blocked in by other pieces is not very effective vs an active knight.

Sometimes after a pawn has arrived at the eighth square the choice of a knight makes the checkmate. So it’s a knight in that instance.
4 real? The rook. It's there if know how to use it well.
