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

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
