Chess Poll # 2

This is kinda silly to put this up but oh well. I'll say the queen is my favorite piece. It has the most power, longest attack range and is a deadly piece. Most good attack squads of chess pieces are really strong when the queens involved. So yeah my favorite chess piece is a queen.

The Queen is the best piece, but I fing the bishops are highly useful at times. In Defense, they can be used to guard pawns (and so the pawns guard them), while remaining in an attacking position. It is always good at the start of the game to pin the opponent down with a bishop while you protect your pawn line with that same piece.

It also attracts little attention. People are always after your Queen, which makes it a burden to use at times; often, you can set up your defense and attack by forcing the opponent to move his Queen out of danger repeatedly.

The pawn because they are lethal deadly weapons that nobody can stop when I control them.

[DaBomb]

Yeah, it's always fun to control the entire centre file just with pawns.

At the very least my first five moves are pawn pushes. I like to create strong pawn chains and then move my other pieces into attack mode.

The knight for me. As hard as it is to use, it is also that hard to take. I use them for single piece assults and also as protection.

Pawn chains aren't a good thing. They pen the opposition in, but if you take out the anchor pawn, then the rest will fall.
