Which chess piece do you think is the strongest (after the queen)?

Sort:
Knight348

My head says the rook but my heart says the knight.

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

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.
