Pawn

Pros: -great when the pawns connect, causing the opponent to become overwhelmed

-could team up with pieces to win the game

- en passant of course

- escorted by the king in K+P vs K endgames

Cons: -isolated/doubled pawns become opponent's target to win material

-isolated pawn in the endgame when your king is not in time to protect

-blocked isolated pawns

Knight

Pros: -closed position, could jump over the pieces

-nasty forks to win material

-when in a great outpost with pawns anchoring the knight

- good at blockading pawns

Cons: -open position, because the other pieces could drive the knight into a rim

-knight on a rim

-blockaded knight

- the great overwork tactic

-could only move like an the letter L shape two square straight and one to the left/right

Bishop

Pros:-open position, the bishop will become powerful in that place

- could team up with the pieces

- could go so fast

Cons:- closed position, bishops don't like that (and other pieces except knight hate that)

-bad diagonal

- could become trapped

- and of course the great overwork tactic, it effects all pieces

Rook

Pros: -rook on the 7th rank

-rook behind passed pawn

- could team up with pieces, it effects all pieces

Cons:- rook in front/beside of the passed pawn

- could be trapped

- when the pawns unite, it affects all pieces if the pieces don't work properly

Could only move straight

Queen:

Pros: -could move straight and diagonal

-open positions just like every piece(except knight) like

-could help pieces

Cons: closed position

Pawns unite

Overwork tactic

Getting chased in this opening line 1. E4, e6 2. Qh5 , causing the queen=trouble

King:

Pros: endgames

Castle ability

Cons: could only move one square at any direction

The king should safe

Broken castle where the king is in the broken castle

IT IS IMPORTANT, so, if a discovered attack against the queen with check happens, then you will lose the queen

King=game, so if the king is checkmated, it's over, white/black won by checkmate

So, the conclusion is, no piece is the strongest, because they also have cons

Avatar of Raphael

two queens

Avatar of Raphael

But, those were queens, ca you check the title again?

Probably, the strongest and existing piece is the amazon, because the amazon could checkmate the king all by itself without the king's help

Could manoever in closed position like the knight

And the pros were combination of queen and knight, not queen
